Alice Town
The main town of North Bimini, with colorful wooden houses along King’s Highway, Hemingway landmarks and conch salad stands. It is the heart of life on Bimini.
Alice Town stretches along King’s Highway, the long, narrow main road of North Bimini. You can explore the whole town on foot or by golf cart. Hemingway lived here from 1935 to 1937, fishing for big game and writing *Islands in the Stream*. The Compleat Angler hotel, where he stayed, burned down in 2006, and a memorial plaque marks the site. Nearby, the Bimini Museum tells the stories of rum smuggling during Prohibition and of legendary fishing. The “Dolphin House” is a quirky home that locals built by covering it with shells, tiles and driftwood. In Bailey Town to the north, a row of conch salad stands makes the dish fresh to order. From South Bimini Airport, it takes about 5 minutes by water taxi to reach the town.
