What us city is due west of Bermuda?
Asked by Wiki User
If you swim due west from Hamilton, you will come ashore near the end of US
Hwy 21, on Pritchard's Island in South Carolina's Old Island Heritage Preserve.
But in order to do that, you'll have to swim a little over 900 miles, and when
you hit Pritchard's Island, you'll be in a tidal marsh that's less than 5-ft above
sea level and probably crawling with all kinds of nasty critters. Trust me ...
you're much better off in Bermuda.
