Bimini today is a panorama of contrasts. The main street, King’s Highway, in the settlement of Alice Town, is a picturesque sight with the docks, fishing boats, private marinas and native markets. Bimini is best known for its world-famous fishing grounds.
Fifty yards over the hill is an incredibly lovely stretch of beach with sand so soft and fine it sifts through your fingers like powder. The water is the clearest, most magnificent, with its splendor of emerald colors, that could ever be envisioned. And when the moon rises over the horizon in the evening while the water gently beats against the shore, you will find yourself swaying to the. tempo of the pulsating “goombay” rhyhtm from the native night clubs nearby as you’re caressed by the cool fresh breezes drifting in from the ocean.
The sun-splashed island in an irredescent sea presents an unusual, unassuming atmosphere. You’ll find no traffic jams or jangling telephones here. There are few automobiles on the island, many bicycles, and the famous “Bimini Express,” a motor-driven tram.
