Winter, especially from mid-December to mid-March, is quieter.Bignotte-Giró I, Fong G A. Most of Bimini's population of some 2,000 people lives in Alice Town other hamlets include Bailey Town and Porgy Bay.Īlthough winter is usually high season in The Bahamas, summertime visitors flock to Bimini's calmer waters, which are better for fishing. At Alice Town, the land is so narrow that you can walk "from sea to shining sea" in just a short time.
Another reason is that much of Bimini is privately owned despite pressure from the Bahamian government, the landholders have not sold their acreage, and Bimini can't "spread out" until they do. Hook-shaped North Bimini is 12km (7 1/2 miles) long and, combined with South Bimini, it makes up a landmass of only 23 sq. Along the way, you'll pass Holm Cay, Gun Cay, and North Cat Cay. Each has its own special appeal, beginning with Turtle Rocks and stretching to South Cat Cay (the latter of which is uninhabited). From here, they can set off to cruise the cays that begin south of South Bimini. This fact has made Bimini a favorite cruising ground for America's yachting set, who follow the channel between North and South Bimini into a spacious, sheltered harbor, where they can stock up on food, drink, fuel, and supplies at well-equipped marinas. Divers find the reefs laced with conch, lobster, coral, and many tropical fish.īimini's location off the Florida coast is where the Gulf Stream meets the Bahama Banks. Off North Bimini, in 9m (30 ft.) of water, are some large hewn-stone formations that some people say came from the lost continent of Atlantis. North Bimini's western side is a long stretch of lovely beachfront. The majority of the region's development has taken place on North Bimini, mostly in Alice Town. You'll most often encounter the name "Bimini," but it is more proper to say "The Biminis," since North Bimini and South Bimini are two distinct islands, separated by a narrow ocean passage. Located 81km (50 miles) east of Miami, Bimini consists of a number of islands, islets, and cays, including North and South Bimini, the main tourist areas.
Regrettably, fishing isn't what it used to be in Papa's day, and such species as marlin, swordfish, and tuna have been dangerously overfished. It was here that he wrote much of To Have and Have Not, and his novel Islands in the Stream put Bimini on the map. Bimini is still known as the big-game fishing capital of the world, and fishermen come here throughout the year to fish in flats, on reefs, and in streams.
