Bimini is a pair of low, narrow islands in The Bahamas about 54 miles (87 km) east of Miami, the closest point in the country to the US mainland. North Bimini holds the main settlements of Alice Town and Bailey Town along King's Highway, plus the Resorts World Bimini resort and marina complex; South Bimini has the airport. The islands are known for turquoise shallows, public beaches such as Radio Beach, and big-game sport fishing, which earned Bimini the nickname 'Big Game Fishing Capital of the World'. Ernest Hemingway and Martin Luther King Jr.
Both spent time here. Snorkel and dive sites include the SS Sapona wreck and Bimini Road. Local food centers on conch salad, conch fritters and sweet Bimini bread. Cruise calls are relaxed beach days, and Virgin Voyages runs its own beach club here.
Bimini Public Beach is at the foot of the pier, with chair and cabana rentals, and Kayak Beach is about a five-minute walk away. Radio Beach in Alice Town is a quieter public beach with rustic food shacks, about 10 minutes by taxi.
The island's historic main settlement lies along King's Highway. Sights include the Dolphin House Museum, built by local historian Ashley Saunders from salvaged materials (USD 10, cash), and the Bimini Craft Center for local crafts.
Snorkel and dive tours visit the SS Sapona, a World War I-era cargo steamer resting in shallow Honeymoon Harbour off Bimini. Many tours also stop at Rainbow Reef or the stone formation called Bimini Road.
