Bimini: A Laid-Back Island Escape
What makes Bimini unique is how uncrowded it is even though it's just a quick hop from the U.S. mainland. This Bahamian destination has a rare charm—close enough to feel accessible but still remote enough to feel like your private escape. The aquamarine waters, undisturbed beaches, and a sprinkle of Bahamian history make Bimini an unforgettable destination, especially when you're cruising on a superyacht.
Bimini is linked to the legend of the Fountain of Youth. Spanish explorer Juan Ponce de León's quest for this mythical spring included references to Bimini, where some believed the fountain was located. Whether or not you believe in this myth, it's hard not to feel a little intrigued by the idea. And if you're not a fan of legends, Bimini has its fair share of pirate lore too. One notable figure associated with Bimini is Captain Grinnaway, an 18th-century pirate.
If you're exploring by yacht, the Healing Hole is a must-visit. The mineral-rich waters of this hidden mangrove pool are famous for their therapeutic properties, especially with the sulfur and lithium they contain. Here you can relax with a swim and forget about your troubles for a while. And while you're out on the water, why not try your hand at fishing? Bimini is a fisherman's paradise, and you might even spot the rare smalltooth sawfish in these parts.
See the SS Sapona shipwreck if you want an underwater adventure you won't soon forget. A thrilling and easy dive, this wreck is located 20 feet below the water's surface. This wreck was once a cargo ship during World War I, a rum runner during Prohibition, and even a target for military practice. At present, it serves as a wonderful site for exploration and a habitat for an incredible variety of marine life, making it as beautiful as it is historic.
Next, in northern Bimini, you'll find the mysterious Stones of Atlantis. Many people throughout the world are curious about these underwater rock formations, and some even think they may be artifacts from the mythological Atlantis. There is something entrancing about flying above them and imagining what they could have been like in the past, regardless of whether they are natural or man-made.
But Bimini isn't just about history and magic. The water here is some of the clearest in the Bahamas, the beaches are picture-perfect, and the vibe is effortlessly luxurious. Spend your day island hopping, snorkeling, or simply lounging on the deck of your yacht. Afterwards, a sunset sail is the best way to end the day. The sky turns into a beautiful color of pink, orange, and gold. It's the perfect backdrop to toast an incredible day in paradise.
