Bimini - only 50 miles off the coast of Fort Lauderdale is the closest part of the Bahamas to the United States. North Bimini and South Bimini are the largest of this chain of islands, and are both well known destinations for fishing, scuba diving and snorkeling. The clear Caribbean waters of Bimini offer excellent access to tropical fish, stingrays and many species of sharks. Grab a local snorkeling charter for a trip to gorgeous white sand beaches where you can enjoy the sun, swim with the stingrays and view a wide variety of colorful fish. Legend and lore surround several locations on Bimini.
In addition to being the supposed location of the fountain of youth, the “Bimini Road” is an underwater collection of smooth and seemingly carved stones that many debate as being either geological formations, evidence of Atlantis or creations of shipwrecked sailors. Whether or not you think Bimini is the location of the Fountain of Youth or Atlantis, snorkeling in Bimini should be a part of any trip to the islands.
