But fishing isn’t the only choice in Bimini for travelers. If you are looking for pure relaxation, Bimini is the island to visit. Its main attraction is fishing, but here you will also find the Gulf Stream, Fountain of Youth, Lost City of Atlantis, museums, fishing tournaments, and the Bimini Boa, a snake that is only found on the island of Bimini. Plus, the island has lots to offer if you enjoy water activities like snorkeling, scuba diving and of course swimming. Bimini is made up of three major islands -- North, South and East Bimini -- that are rich with history and natural resources. Most of the islands’ population, about 1,600 residents, live in Bailey Town in North Bimini, while the main tourist center is in Alice Town, also on North Bimini. Most of the hotels, restaurants and fishing operations can also be found here. |
