Bimini Beaches
Most of Bimini's beaches are found on the west side of North Bimini. The most-popular beach can be found in Alice Town off Queen’s Highway, named Radio Beach. There aren't any commercial water sports operations here, but the sun, sand, swimming and snorkeling are excellent.
Those seeking more privacy will find small but public beaches at some of the guest houses and beach clubs on North Bimini and South Bimini. You can also take a boat out to the Cays off Bimini, these beaches can be hard to reach but they are definitely secluded.
Diving
Bimini offers some of the best scuba diving in The Bahamas. Bimini has magnificent reefs with every kind of sea life imaginable and some of the finest dive spots in the world are found in Bimini. The "Bimini Road" or "Road to Atlantis" was made famous by numerous Discovery Channel specials. The Bimini Barge was rated "one of the ten best wreck dives in The Bahamas and Caribbean” by Skin Diver Magazine.
Boating
Being the closest Bahamian island to the U.S. mainland, Bimini is a natural port of call for boaters in search of fresh cruising waters. The 48 miles can be covered in around 2 hours. -timers might want to cross with one of the popular Bahamas Boating Flings, sponsored by the Bahamas Ministry of Tourism and the South Florida Marine Industries Association. These flotillas occur throughout the summer months and participation costs around $50.
Dolphin Encounters
Bimini is one of the few places in the world where you can interact with a pod of wild spotted dolphins in their environment and on their terms. Dolphin Excursions take place a few times a week aboard the dive vessels "Destiny" and "Adventurer." Trips are scheduled both in the mornings and afternoons, and can be anywhere from 3 to 4 hours in length. It takes approximately one hour to reach the "dolphin grounds." Sometimes the pod (dolphin family) comes to the boat in as little as 30 minutes; on other days it takes 3 hours. Since 1996, when the program began, the success rate of finding the pod has been over 80 percent. For more information on the Dolphin Excursions go to www.biminiundersea.com/dolphins.htm.
Big Game Fishing
Bimini's main attraction is fishing. With their prime location in the middle of the Gulf Stream, The Bimini Islands offer fishermen the chance to set new fishing records in deep seas filled with marlin, tuna and other game fish. Bottom fishing is also popular here, and large groupers, snappers and wahoo have been caught just minutes off Bimini's shore. There are annual fishing tournaments in Bimini bringing hundreds of fishing boats congregate at the various marinas competing for big prize money.
