Bimini Bahamas lies less than 50 miles east of Miami; therefore it is the closest Bahamas Island to the United States. It is actually 2 islands separated by a shallow channel, North Bimini and South Bimini.
Most of the population lives in North Bimini in a short and narrow strip of land. The activities are in North Bimini in Alice Town, although most of the people live in Bailey Town.
Bimini has many interesting sites and exotic beaches
North Bimini is about 7 miles long by 700 yards wide. South Bimini features an airstrip and two hotels. The south island is rustic and quiet, but the access to the action on the north island is very easy.
Bimini Bahamas is one of the Out Islands that characterize themselves by an attitude of “laisse faire laisse passe” meaning, take it easy, lie down, dream and forget about your problems. It is a shock to many since it is so close, only 46 miles east of bustling Fort Lauderdale.
Since it was a meeting place for Traffickers that run these seas in the past, you may see many shipwrecks of Spanish galleons that are today the home for beautiful coral reefs and exotic fish. Some venture to say it is the lost city of Atlantis.
During Caribbean Fishing tournaments Alice Town is very busy. It consists of a single street with a few local restaurants and bars. I like it for strolling and savoring the smells of fish surrounded by some pelicans.
Do not count on nightlife in this town. Although there are a couple of bar offering live music several nights a week.
If you are fond of Caribbean Fishing, this is the place to visit, not only during Fishing Tournaments, but any time of the year. During tournaments you’ll find everyone talking something about fishing and the different fish you can catch on these islands.
Fishing here has no comparison elsewhere for the number and size of tuna, sailfish, Wahoo and others you’ll catch here. Many world records have been set on the islands. To “graduate” as a fisherman you must fish in Bimini Bahamas at least once in your lifetime.
