MY GUIDEBOOK:
What to Expect :
Bimini - 2,417 intrepid souls living on a couple of tiny islands surrounded by beautiful turquoise water perched on the edge of the gulf stream. Bimini is ALL about the water. On land, the original Bimini is a very safe and authentic place historically known for rum running, as a hangout for the likes of Hemingway, Martin- Luther King and world-class fishing/diving. Its best to explore both Old and New Bimini with an open mind and an island mentality. Rent a golf cart and go but stay on the left! US dollars and Bahamain dollars are of the same value. Credit cards accepted. There is an ATM in the Resorts World hotel. Enter the lobby and go to the left.
Old Bimini Eating:
Stuarts Conch- conch salad is the local specialty
Joe's Conch
Big Mike's Conch
Edith's Pizza- great pizza
My Three Daughters- my go-to for cracked conch
Big John's- well known restaurant/bar with a variety of foods
Big Game Club- famous hotel known by all fisherman with a variety of foods. its my favorite.
Sherry's- a shack on the beach that makes great drinks and local fare
Smitty’s
Just to name a few.
New Bimini Resort World:
Several restaurants in the Resorts World hotel along with a Starbucks
360 - Fee to enter
Infinity Pool Eatery and bar when open.
Groceries:
Bimini is tiny and dependent on a supply boat and planes that visits weekly. Hence, there are many small grocery stores. We like King Brown (Porgy Bay), J7Js a green building on the left and Robert's (Alice Town). In Resorts World there is Sue and Joys. There is a little of everything to be found but selection can be limited. Fresh fish, lobster and conch can be sourced on the island just by asking around. Remember, it’s a small Caribbean Island which is why you are coming to Bimini.

When You First Arrive:
You first need to pick up a wrist band to enter the private gated Bimini Bay Community. The bands will be at the HOA building behind Sue and Joys. Its a very small island and if you come by sea plane it is very near by. If you come by ferry, the red tran will drop you off. If you fly into South Bimini, the cab will take you there after a short ferry ride to North Bimini.
How To Find Our Condo In Bimini Bay:
Once you have your wrist band from the HOA, grab a cab over to unit 23232 in Bimini bay. You may just want to rent a cart for the day at Sue and Joys or for the entire time you are there. Finding the unit is easy. Enter the first secuirty gate, drive up to the infinity pool and make a right. It will the second three story condo building on the right. You can park and walk behind the units to the middle yellow set of condos. You are in the top unit. I will give you a private four digit code to enter.
Once You Are Settled In:
Most people want to hit the gorcery store and get some items. You can go to King Browns on the left hand side after you exit out through the Resort World archway on Kings Highway in about a mile. Its a small two lane unmaked road. STAY ON THE LEFT. LOL There are several other grocery stores but I've found King Browns to be one of my favorites. They have a little of everything but no store on this little island has a wide variety. Everything must come in by boat. There are a couple well stocked adult beverage stores on the right hand side as you contiue on down Kings Highway.
What To Do With Your Time:
This parts on you. Hit the beaches, infinity pool, ride up and down Kings Highway checking out shops, restaruants, bars, and looking at how the local inhabitants live, work, go to church and school. Bimini is very safe, the people are so nice and its uniquely a small Bahamian island with two worlds on it. The one you will be staying in and their community. There is a side top rode on the right off Kings Hwy that goes along Radio Beach and many other beaches. Enjoy! Oh and check out that beautiful water. There is an ATM inside the lobby of the Resorts World hotel.
Costs:
You know how expensive everything is at home. It will be a little more expensive here because your in the middle of the Caribean on a little Bahamian island where everything cost to just get it there. Here are some costs to be aware of. Cabs are reasonable at $5 one way per person. ATM fees can be $8.50 so get out enough to spend. Many restaurants include an 18% gratuity on the bill so look before you tip. Groceries and adult beverages are pricey at home but pricier here. Shopping in local shops can be reasonable. Most vacation spots are like this anywhere.

ALIV Discovery App - If you can download this app, it is very detailed on where to find grocery stores, restaurants, shops and things of interests. Also, there is Google and Apple Maps!
