Bimini Travel Guide

Bimini, the Bahamas' westernmost island group, is famed for big-game fishing, Hemingway's legacy and the underwater Bimini Road.

📍 Destination Overview

Bimini is the westernmost island group of the Bahamas, only about 80km from Florida. The Gulf Stream makes it a world-class big-game fishing destination, and Hemingway's 1930s trips here inspired The Old Man and the Sea. The mysterious underwater Bimini Road, its origin still debated, is said by some to be a relic of Atlantis.
