Major city · The Bahamas

Bimini

Spend 2–3 days for fishing, diving and a quick island hop; longer if you want multiple shark‑diving tours.

Not yet checkedSourcesWhat these labels mean

Bimini is a tiny Bahamian district of three islands, 50 mi east of Miami. Its main draw is deep‑sea fishing, shark diving and relaxed island vibes. A short stay covers the key activities; extra days let you repeat tours or explore the nature trail.

  • Caribbean ↗Several islands (Turks and Caicos above all, also the Bahamas and Jamaica) jail visitors for a single stray bullet or cartridge in their luggage; empty every bag and pocket before you pack.
  • Caribbean ↗From August to October keep a free last day before your flight home and check the national hurricane centre daily; airports close when a named storm approaches.
  • Caribbean ↗Wearing camouflage clothing is illegal for civilians in several islands, including Barbados, Antigua, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent, Grenada, Dominica, Trinidad and Tobago and Jamaica; leave it at home, children's clothes included.
  • The Bahamas ↗Check entry rules for your passport on the official Bahamas government sources before you fly; requirements differ by nationality.
  • The Bahamas ↗Respect marine protected areas: fishing, collecting shells or coral and anchoring rules are enforced in national parks such as the Exuma Cays Land and Sea Park.
  • The Bahamas ↗Do not bring firearms or ammunition; even a single forgotten round in a bag can lead to arrest.
  • The Bahamas ↗Water-sports operators on Nassau and Paradise Island beaches are poorly regulated: use tour companies booked through your hotel and wear a life jacket.
