Welcome to Bimini, a seven-mile
long and half-mile wide jewel of the islands of
the Bahamas. You are now amongst a list of countless
visitors who we have had the privilege of welcoming
to this island, which is known as a fisherman’s
paradise, a land of foklore and legend, a haven
for renowned orators, writers and leaders.
It was on Bimini that Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. retreated to compose famous
speeches. Here, on Bimini, the legendary tales of the Fountain of Youth, the
Healing Hole, and the Lost City of Atlantis thrive. In addition, Bimini is known
as the favoured hideaway of novelist Ernest Hemingway, who lost a notable boxing
match here that inspired the composition of the folk song, “Never Get a
Lickin’ ‘Til You Go Down to Bimini.”
As you travel the streets of Bimini, you will be absorbed in our history, culture,
and natural beauty. Most importantly, you will encounter the unsurpassed warmth
and hospitality of our residents whose greatest desire is to meet and share our
way of life with you.
At the end of your stay, we hope you will consider yourself an enduring friend
of the Bahamas, and we look forward to seeing you on our lovely island again
and again.
