Bimini

.......................................................................................................

A veritable boater's paradise. A former stomping ground of the writer Ernest Hemingway. Whichever the attraction, Bimini, is a hop, skip and a jump away from Florida, only 48 miles from Miami. Untarnished by its close proximity to the US, Bimini maintains its island flair and laid back way evident in all of The Out Islands.

Bimini gained notoriety as a rum running, bootlegging hideaway. Plundering and wrecking ships as they crossed the Atlantic in the 1700s, the bootleggers' legacy live on in the wrecks of Spanish galleons still found under the sea. Another testimony of Bimini's colorful past linger in those aquamarine waters as divers attest to seeing an unusual stoned formation touted to be the famed lost continent of Atlantis.

Also known for its world famous fishing tournaments, Bimini welcomes hosts of fishermen, and yachtsmen every year. Bimini boasts unparalleled size and variety of catch. In fact records are set in Bimini, with over 50 world records recorded.
