Fodor's Expert Review Bimini Sands Beach

Patrons of Bimini Sands Resort & Marina are not the only ones who love Bimini Sands' mile-long beach. This gorgeous stretch of white-sand powder, with its offshore snorkeling, is so enticing that vacationers from North Bimini and even Floridians often take the quick ferry over or boat across the Gulf Stream for the day. The southern cove and point once had facilities which are, at this writing, closed, but the beach and beautiful waters are still a magnet for boaters. To clear Bahamas Customs, who are stationed at the airport, it's best to slide into Bimini Sands' marina where you have access to amenities including the Pool Bar and freshwater pool. The southern beach gets particularly busy during spring break but the northern stretch stays relatively secluded. Amenities: food and drink. Best for: partiers; snorkeling; swimming
