"In Warwick, it's important to respect the local customs and traditions. Dress modestly when not on the beach, as Bermudians tend to dress more formally than in other beach destinations. Avoid wearing beachwear in town or in restaurants. It's considered rude to take photographs of locals without their permission. Always ask before you snap a picture. Bermudians value politeness and good manners. Always greet people with a friendly "good morning" or "good afternoon" before starting a conversation. Avoid discussing sensitive topics such as politics or racial issues, as these can be seen as disrespectful. Littering is frowned upon in Bermuda. Always dispose of your trash properly to keep the island clean. Public displays of drunkenness are considered disrespectful. While it's fine to enjoy a drink, it's important to do so responsibly. Lastly, remember that Bermuda is a British Overseas Territory, so some British customs and etiquette may apply. For example, it's customary to queue in line and wait your turn," remarked another expat who made the move to Warwick, Bermuda.
