"In Tucker's Town, 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 discussing sensitive topics such as race, politics, and religion unless you are well acquainted with the person. Bermudians value punctuality, so try not to be late for appointments or social gatherings. It's also considered rude to interrupt someone while they're speaking. When dining, remember to use your utensils properly and avoid eating with your hands unless it's a finger food. It's also considered impolite to leave the table during a meal, unless it's absolutely necessary. Public displays of affection are generally frowned upon, so try to keep affectionate gestures private. Lastly, Bermudians are known for their friendliness and politeness. Always greet people with a smile and a polite "hello" or "good day". Not doing so can be seen as rude or disrespectful," said another expat in Tucker's Town, Bermuda.
