Local Provisions
The boat with provisions and supplies arrives each Thursday. There is a farmers market on FRIDAYS where you can get some fresh vegetables in front of EJs/next to Joe's Conch Shack.
There is a liquor store just two minutes away just take a left out our driveway. Lots of locals hang out in front of liquor store so it's a great way to get to know the island.
Also left out our driveway are two larger food markets - Roberts (near Bimini Big Game) and Brown's (next to Brown Hardware).
Need something quick, take a right out our driveway, head up to Sue and Joy’s Market at Resort. It is off the rotary, first right at end of road.

Sunrise and Sunset
You don't have to go far to see a spectacular sunrise. Just walk to the end of our dock!
Sunset is beautiful on the other side of the island at any of the Bimini beaches.
Bimini Beaches
Of course, what would the Bahamas be without the beach! The islands’ top three are Radio Beach, Blister Beach and Spook Hill Beach, plus a handful of interesting cays to the south.
You can go to the quiet end at Blister Beach at the top of Queens Highway (upper road) or the busy end at Radio Beach at the end of Queen's Highway where you can see beautiful boats, listen to music and enjoy a strong drink at CJs or Shadows beach stand.
Spook Hill is a quiet spot to look for shells and watch the sunset just a five minute walk from Bimini Cottages. Out our gate, cross street to the road right of the Clinic, follow past the graveyard til end.
And sunset at the Gallant Lady Shipwreck on the southern tip of North Bimini. For years it’s been decaying. A cemetery overlooks the eerie wreckage. The red hues of the ship are stunning on the white sands and in a caribbean sunset.
Other Activities
Alicetown, the center of North Bimini, is a humble but proud town. The Craft Market, often full when a cruise ship is in town, offers local handcrafted items and t shirts to remember your trip.
Make sure you visit the Dolphin Museum, also on Queen's Highway right next to Radio Beach. Charming museum built by local Ashley Sanders.
$10/pp and he'll show you all 3 floors of his home built with shells and recycled material from the sea, it is worth the trip! https://dolphin-house-museum.business.site/
Take a Nature Walk. Rent a bike on North Bimini and take the ferry from the southern end of North Bimini to explore the sandy roads and nature of South Bimini. On the Bimini Nature Hiking Trail you’ll learn a lot: ecology, wildlife, history. You can also visit The Fountain of Youth. If it is open visit the Shark Lab and see what the researchers may be working on.
The Resort
The Hilton has a beautiful rooftop pool (elevator up to 4th floor) or swim up bar (1st floor to right of restaurant). Also there is a casino that is often entertaining.
Get a pass for Resort World with two olympic size pools, restaurant and beautiful beach.
Getting out on the Water
The Bimini underwater is a rich playground for snorkelers and divers.
Dive down to the floating Prohibition-era liquor cargoship called the Sapona. A large portion of the boat is visible above water with the remainder in about 10 feet of water, making it perfect for snorkeling.
Stand in shallow water and watch the stingrays approach at Honeymoon Harbor. These stingrays love to be fed and are very friendly. It is not uncommon to have some nurse sharks join in.
