Resorts in North Bimini, Bahamas

Just a short two-hour crossing from Miami is the Bahamian island of North Bimini. Just seven miles long, this small slice of paradise has garnered a solid space on the map for various attractions and sights, calling tourists near and far to its stunning white sand beaches, captivating local history, and unparalleled game fishing. Home to Alice Town, a collection of shops, restaurants, and bars up and down “The King's Highway,” this island is an excellent spot to vacation all week long from the best resorts in North Bimini. Bimini was also a beloved destination for author Ernest Hemingway, and as the setting for his novel “Islands In the Stream,” Hemingway centered his novel around the island’s incredible sport and big game fishing. Also great for island-hopping, it’s easy to get to some of the other popular islands of the Bahamas, such as New Providence, so pack your sunnies and suits, and prepare to be amazed by your next vacation destination to the Atlantic.

If fishing for an adventure, Bimini is a great place to start. With the island’s wealth of sea life, you’ll have endless ways to observe and interact with the natural wildlife and see a unique underwater world. While in the crystal clear Bahamian waters, you can expect to see some alarming locals swimming by— including hammerhead sharks, tiger sharks, bull sharks, reef sharks, lemon sharks, and nurse sharks. And if you’re up for a little adrenaline, brave an exhilarating scuba session amongst hammerhead sharks. Get up close and personal with an abundance of marine life— from Atlantic spotted dolphins to southern stingrays, and explore sunken ships, too. This is one excursion you won’t forget while staying at the best North Bimini resorts.

For another fishy few hours, pop over to the artistic Dolphin House Museum, which is near North Bimini resorts and built from recycled materials and houses a fascinating collection of artifacts, history, and facts about these gentle aquatic creatures. You’ll be fully immersed in another world while in this impressively creative hand-made space.

Of course, it wouldn’t be a trip to the Bahamas without your daily dose of unobstructed beach time. And in North Bimini, it’s not hard to spend ample time lounging in the sand with a nice book and a bottle of sunscreen. First, head to Radio Beach, a beautiful strip of salt and sand with lots of local spots to eat and drink right up from the water. Here, the sand is white, and the water is a postcard-worthy shade of turquoise! Then for a slight change in sandy scenery, head over to Bimini's White and Blue Beach to snorkel the day away or plop down on your beach towel with a beverage for the afternoon. After a sandy day by the sea, head just a few short steps up to one of the island's waterside restaurants, where you can find an array of local eateries, New American joints, and global cuisine to enjoy. Before heading back to your top north Bimini resort, tickle your taste buds with a tropical cocktail or beachside brew!
