Heading towards Alice Town Harbour on North Bimini
 
 

Approaching Alice Town harbour on North Bimini Island


 

North and South Bimini are the two largest islands in the Bimini chain, and they lie just 50 miles east of Miami.

It is rumoured that the lost continent of Atlantis is located just off the shores of Bimini, a theory supported by some of the most wondrous dive sites, and that south Bimini is also the site of Ponce De Leon's Fountain of Youth.

The waters around Bimini are better known for big game fishing and Hemmingway often called Bimini his home.
