Attractions in Bimini

Bimini is rich with historical landmarks and natural attractions.

Floridians have the luxury of only a 50-mile trip to beautiful Bimini Island, one of the best places on Earth for divers, anglers and explorers. Best known for its sport fishing, one of the big draws for boaters out of Florida, mysterious Bimini also offers a lot of fun for visitors looking for a diverse and sometimes mystic or strange vacation experience.

Bimini Road

In 1968, huge limestone blocks off the coast of North Bimini were discovered and are believed to have been once an undersea road to the Lost City of Atlantis. This half-mile stretch of neatly aligned relics, named the Bimini Road, draws divers and all kinds of opinions about the origins of the “road.” It’s easy to explore, as it’s only in about 20 feet of water.

Underwater Discoveries

Scuba divers, both novice and advanced, have numerous undersea sites to explore from several sunken Spanish gallows; Sapona, a WWI Freighter wreck, as well as the Bimini Wall, plummeting a heart thumping 4,000 feet, just to name a few.

The Fountain of Youth

Ponce de Leon was thought to have stopped on Bimini Island in his search for the mythical Fountain of Youth in 1513. Some say he heard about it from an Indian tribe when he was governor of Puerto Rico. The Fountain of Youth is believed to exist somewhere in the flats and pools of South Bimini.

Dolphins

Many come to the Biminis to encounter the friendly wild Atlantic spotted dolphins in the open ocean through human-dolphin connection excursions, with groups like Wildquest or Bill & Nowdla Keefe’s Bimini Undersea.
