Easy diving, North Bimini

 bumpkinz Says:  Only 2 things to do on Bimini. Fish or Dive. We dove. We used Keefe's for diving. Good operation with great people. First day there was about 18 people diving, but for the remainder of the week there was only 6 of us. Nice to have the ocean to ourselves not to mention all...

Bimini Bay Resort and Marina: Best Resort in the Bahamas, North Bimini

 FunInTheSun123 Says:  I recently visited the North Island of Bimini and decided to stay at Bimini Bay Resort. Once I arrived at the airport, I was picked up by Bimini Bay Resort's private bus, I was then taken to the Resorts private boat, which takes you over to the resort. The boat ride was... 

Bimini Big Game: Bimini's Biggest

Bimini Big Game: Bimini's Biggest, North Bimini

 bumpkinz Says:  Bimini Big Game is definitely large and upscale compared to most of Bimini. It has all the facilities and ammenities of any big hotel except service. Rooms, grounds, pool and outlying areas are all very nicely kept. Front desk staff has typical island attitude - they will do... 

Bimini Bay: Far north end - closed again

Bimini Bay: Far north end - closed again, North Bimini

 grandmaR Says:  $75 for condos or suites - But Tropic Diver says it is now closed and is in bad disrepair. I have not even seen this place let alone stayed in it but I understand they have a good restaurant and will come and get you if you phone.

Restaurants  

The Anchorage at Bimini Blue Water

The Anchorage at Bimini Blue Water, North Bimini

 1 Review  Restaurant sits on the top of a the rise looking out over the Gulf Stream. There is a bar with a TV and also tables. 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... 

The End of the World: Something Totally Different

The End of the World: Something Totally Different, North Bimini

 bumpkinz Says:  Unlike any other place I have ever been. Dirt floors with inside seating for about 6 and outside for about 12. Just because the seating is limited don't be fooled into thinking it won't be crowded. Standing room only is not uncommon. This has to be the smallest establishment... 

Shopping  

Browns: Hardware/Boat stores

Browns: Hardware/Boat stores, North Bimini

 grandmaR Says:  Dusty and crowded with stuff. They often don't know what they have. There are two hardware and boating goods stores on North Bimini - one is in Alice Town and one is up in Bailey Town.

Bimini General Store(s): General Stores, North Bimini

 grandmaR Says:  In addition to the open air market, there are several little shops on Bimini. Their merchandise is variable. Usually they carry soft drinks and snacks, some other food and some clothing. I went to get postcards. I went to several shops, and found the following ones.The... 

What to Pack  

Island Life

Island Life, North Bimini

 Meraiah Says:   Bug Repellent is a must if you care to watch the sun set or rise. Benedryl Gel is great for bug bites and even jelly fish stings. The best cure for jelly fish stings or scratches from fire coral is a salve of meat tenderizor and water. Disposable underwater camera to... 

What Have You Come To Do?

What Have You Come To Do?, North Bimini

 grandmaR Says:  If coming by boat (which I recommend if you have an appropriate boat) you don't have to pack. Except for provisioning the boat of course and filling up with water and fuel before you leave. If you come by air, pack light. If you come on a dive boat, I'm sure they'll tell you... 

Sports & Outdoors  

Seacrest Marina

Seacrest Marina, North Bimini

 grandmaR Says:  We usually come in and stay here as it has enough water at the dock for us. Initially we came here because it was the closest to immigration, and having been up all night I didn't want to go far. I think that if I was going this year, I'd go to the next marina up - Blue... 

Snorkelng from the beach

Snorkelng from the beach, North Bimini

 grandmaR Says:  Just walk off the beach and swim in the clear water. Mask, snorkel and fins. You can get along with just the mask or a sight bucket I guess. I don't know where to get the equipment if you don't bring it with you unless you rent it from Bill and Claudia.

 islandkim Says:  The people are very nice and helpful. This was our first trip there. We went for the weekend. This island has great potential but it is currently very run down. So many places are abandoned. The beaches are spectacular until you look up and notice that everyone dumps garbage...

 Spent a week here diving. Good thing we like to dive and enjoy and adult beverage afterwards because other than fishing that really is all there is to do.
