    Bimini Islands History And Services

    The history of Bimini is full colorful tales, legends and drama. Merely 50 miles from the Miami coastline, Bimini is small, with its 1,600 residents residing on North Bimini, leaving South Bimini to stand alone as a quiet, pristine place.

    Intriguing tales abound of “Bimini”, a place where there was once a mystic fountain of youth. There are rumors that it was located between North and South Bimini. Spanish explorer Ponce de Leon searched for The Fountain of Youth but never found it.

    Other legends exist of a pool off North Bimini where people with ailments have been cured by the healing waters. It is believed that when the tide goes out, underground tunnels release mineral-rich fresh water that is believed to be healing. This location is called The Healing Hole and it is in a salt-water mangrove swamp.

    Many rumors exist that the Lost City of Atlantis may be in the waters off the Bimini coast. Divers have found unusual slabs of rock that resemble part of an underwater city. These rocks have sparked much speculation. Since the stones were discovered in the 1960s, scientists and other experts have come here. This has resulted in a variety of unique explanations.

    Today, the Bimini Islands are a favorite place for sport fishermen, who come here for the big game fishing. It was precisely this that brought Ernest Hemingway to Bimini. Other notable names linked to Bimini are civil rights leader Dr. Martin Luther King who came to Bimini in 1964. Singer Jimmy Buffet, who also wrote one of his books while staying in Bimini.

    The swimming pools of Bimini are luxurious aquatic playgrounds designed to complement the island’s breathtaking natural beauty.

    Many of the island’s premier pools are stunning infinity-edge creations, where the crystalline water seems to merge seamlessly with the turquoise hues of the Atlantic Ocean, offering swimmers unobstructed, horizon-deep views.

    High above the marina, chic rooftop pools provide a more exclusive atmosphere with panoramic vistas of the entire island.

    Whether you’re seeking the vibrant, DJ-driven energy of a sprawling resort pool complete with swim-up bars and private cabanas, or the tranquility of a more secluded, lagoon-style oasis, Bimini’s pools serve as the centerpiece for both relaxation and sophisticated socializing in a perfect tropical setting.

    Beyond the serene environment of the resort pools, the turquoise waters surrounding Bimini offer a vibrant playground for adventure seekers, with watersports rentals readily available along the main beaches and at the marina.

    You can feel the thrill of skimming across the glassy sea on a jet ski or opt for a calmer pace by exploring the coastline on a stand-up paddleboard or in a clear-bottom kayak, marveling at the marine life below.

    For those wanting to dive deeper, snorkeling and scuba excursions provide access to legendary underwater sites like the haunting SS Sapona shipwreck.

    From guided tours to swim with the famous Bimini sharks to chartered deep-sea fishing trips, the island offers countless ways to experience its world-class aquatic environment firsthand.

    Navigating Bimini is an adventure in itself, trading the rush of city traffic for the laid-back pace of island life.

    The undisputed vehicle of choice is the golf cart, which visitors rent to zip along the scenic Queen’s Highway, feeling the warm sea breeze as they discover hidden beaches and colorful local eateries at their own leisure.

    For guests within the expansive resort areas, a complimentary tram service conveniently connects hotels, the casino, marina, and beach clubs.

    The charming, narrow streets of Alice Town are perfect for exploring on foot or by bicycle, offering a chance to soak in the local culture up close.

    Connecting the two main islands is a reliable water taxi, which shuttles travelers between the airport on South Bimini and the bustling hub of North Bimini, making the journey itself a memorable part of the authentic island experience.
