Bimini Island Guide

A real-estate-minded guide to North Bimini, South Bimini, Alice Town, beaches, food, marinas and the practical details that matter when considering island ownership.

Know the islands

North Bimini, South Bimini and the water between.

Bimini is an island group, not one single island. The two places most buyers and visitors talk about are North Bimini and South Bimini, connected by a short local ferry ride rather than a bridge.

North Bimini

Home to Alice Town, many restaurants and accommodations, resort development, marinas and the ferry arrival area.

South Bimini

A quieter residential feel, South Bimini Airport, beaches, marina communities and easy access to North Bimini by local ferry.

Alice Town

The traditional tourism hub on North Bimini with restaurants, local businesses and a strong sense of island character.

At a glance

What Bimini is known for.

Fishing, diving, reefs, clear water, Bimini Road, the SS Sapona wreck, Dolphin House, beach days, boating and a deep connection to maritime history all shape the island’s identity.

For real estate buyers, these attractions matter because they help explain why Bimini attracts repeat visitors from Florida, boaters, anglers, divers and weekend travelers.
