Things to do in Bimini

Bimini is filled with many gorgeous beaches — some just steps away from the cruise port terminal as well as beach clubs and hotel exclusive beaches accessible via day passes. Being a small island of roughly nine square miles, it is home to many golf cart rental options to take you around and self-explore at your pace. Just remember to stick to the left side of the road! If laying back and getting some rays is a little too relaxing for your taste, try something a little bit more exciting such as swimming with sharks or snorkeling the Sapona Shipwreck.

Looking to get a taste of local cuisine? Try one of the many restaurants on the island such as the Bimini Seafood Company or Joe's Conch Shack! There you will taste a fresh conch salad or some conch fritters with a cup of conch chowder. If conch isn't your style, they have fresh fish options as well traditional tenders and fries' options.

Day trips:

Looking to make the most of your day trip, try one of the many golf cart rentals to explore the island at your own pace to visit spots such as the Dolphin House Museum, local eateries or spend time at Beach 360 Day Club and other beach clubs.

If you are looking to get your heart rate up while in port, check out diving with the sharks or snorkeling the Sapona shipwreck. Renting a day charter to go fishing is also a great way to get out on those crystal blue waters!

If relaxing at a hotel for the day is more your speed, then check out one of the day passes from Hilton Resort World Bimini and utilize all their amenities for the time at port!

Looking for a local beer or cocktail? Look no further than Ebbie's or Big Johns Bar & Grill to try a cold Kraken or a Bahama Mama!
