Bimini

The island group in the Bahamas closest to Florida, known for big-game fishing, diving and Hemingway's footsteps.

Bimini lies at the far western edge of the Bahamas, only about 80 km (50 miles) from Miami, Florida, and consists mainly of North Bimini and South Bimini. Known as the "Big Game Fishing Capital of the World," it is where Ernest Hemingway stayed for long periods to fish, and tales of his time here draw many visitors. The surrounding waters are clear and ideal for diving and snorkeling, and the mysterious underwater stone formation offshore known as the "Bimini Road" adds to the island's intrigue. Winter and spring are high season, while summer and autumn require watching for hurricanes. You can arrive from Florida by ferry, private boat or small plane.
