Bimini Bahamas
Playful Dolphins & Pristine Beaches
Despite its small size, Bimini is home to stunning beaches. If you feel you need to be alone, there are nearby Cays which are secluded and uncrowded.
Turtle Rocks, Piquet Rocks, Holm Cay and Honeymoon Harbour all offer quiet, smooth sandy beaches.
For those looking to relax, Bimini offers crystal-clear waters. But offshore, it’s where the real magic happens – especially for adrenaline travelers.
