Bill & Nowdla Keefe's Bimini Undersea
grandmaR Says: There are actually 2 scuba outfits - one on South Bimini, but the main one is in Alicetown. They have moorings at various dive sites, and in addition to the scuba trips they do a wild dolphin swim. The picture is of the old hotel where they kept the dive boat.They have a...
Cabana_Boy Says: The Compleat Angler is a hotel on North Bimini that was built in the 1930s. It has been made famous by the likes of Ernst Hemingway, who used to stay at the hotel from time to time and probably frequented the bar even more than that. Today, Calypso music pour from its...
2 Reviews Lots of locals. Has somewhat disconnected service - lady that took our order didn't bring it, and we asked someone else, and then both of them brought it so we had two. I had calamari and Bob had snapper. The food was good
The Anchorage at Blue Water Resort
1 Review Restaurant sits on the top of a the rise looking out over the Gulf Stream. Service is attentive, and thoughtful. I had a wonderful lobster special and Bob had the catch of the day. The bread was hot and they gave us a pitcher of iced tea. There was lemon cake for desert.
1 Review This place is in front of the Sea Crest Hotel and across the street from the Sea Crest Marina. It is not air conditioned- just has a fan, but it is good for breakfast and lunch- only open until about 2 pm. I've been here twice to have lunch after we crossed the Gulf Stream and checked in. Each time...
1 Review This restaurant is down at the south end next to the End of the World bar If the weather is good you can sit outside on the deck. We didn't do that because it was cold and windy I had fried chicken. Ask what they have before you order. Provisioning is apparently hit or miss in Bimini and it does no...
End of the World: One of the many bars
grandmaR Says: Bar with a sand floor. I have only looked in the door.
Take a sea plane from Miami......
Cabana_Boy Says: Take a sea plane from Miami... I flew Chalk 's Ocean Airways. They fly out of both Fort Lauderdale and Miami and can be reached at 1-800-424-2557 for details and schedules. The main island (North Bimini) where all the hotels & bars are located is so small, you can walk...
grandmaR Says: I've never found the gallery open The prices I saw were more than I wanted to pay
grandmaR Says: Sells liquor. I haven't bought anything here. I understand the liquor is a good buy on Bimini
grandmaR Says: People in the Bahamas use the VHF Radio as a big party line. Different businesses monitor different frequencies. Don't complain about it, even though it would not be appropriate in the states.
grandmaR Says: You can not buy phone cards that will work in the Bahamas from anyone else other than Batelco. Batelco has also recently been privatized and neither Verizon nor AT&T (nor I suspect any other phones) will work in the Bahamas any longer.
Be careful when traveling the...
JessicaERMSU Says: Be careful when traveling the streets at night. Especially if you are a lady. Some of the locals enjoy getting drunk and heckling the tourist.
The straw market. Things are...
JessicaERMSU Says: The straw market. Things are over prcied but with a little hagling the shop owners can bring thier prices down into reason.
grandmaR Says: You can use US$ on Bimini without exchanging them for Bahamian $. There are no ATMs on Bimini. The bank will not cash a personal check. You can get a cash advance with VISA, but not AMEX or Mastercard. Some businesses will allow MC charges. Sometimes there will be a 25...
Learn the history of the island
grandmaR Says: Try to visit the Bimini Museum which tells the history of the island(s) including Lerner marine laboratory, the old time wreckers, how sports fishing became popular, the wild children (like Adam Clayton Powell) who vacationed here, smuggling during prohibition, the...
Walk to the south end of North Bimini
grandmaR Says: The cemetery is on the south end of the island. Bob walks down there every time we go to Bimini. From there you can see the cruise ships, and you can see what the waves are like in the Gulf Stream.I have never gotten all the way down to the cemetery on foot although I've...
There are few things to do here...which is nice!
Cabana_Boy Says: Bimini offers the traveler little other than big game fishing, scuba diving and a few bars to wet your whistle. My trip there centered around diving and it was my first trip to the Bahamas. I have several good memories of Alice Town. Drift diving along the Continental Shelf...

Bimini has had a varied past. Boom times end in bust only to hit boom times again just in the nick of time for poverty sticken islanders. At the edge of the Gulf Stream, Bimini's early days were as...

JessicaERMSU's new Alice Town, Bimini Page
Beutiful water, friendly natives, and huge fish. It is a fisherman's dream. Hemingway recommended for big game fish in his book ISLANDS IN THE STREAM.
