Bimini

The Biminis, only 50 miles east of Miami, are the closest islands to the mainland United States and a popular destination for sailors. While the Eastern side of the Biminis is full of boat slips and marinas, the western side is one continuous stretch of pristine beach. Most visitors and inhabitants are situated along the northern part of the islands. The two main roads of the Biminis, the Kings and Queens highways, run parallel to each other and can take you anywhere along the islands. However, everything on North Bimini is extremely close together so a car is not needed. It is said that Juan Ponce de Leon searched for the mythical Fountain of Youth on South Bimini. Tourists are still lured in by locals for a quick tour of what is called the Healing Hole—rumoured to cure rheumatism and gout. The main community in northern regions of the Biminis is Alice Town. In the waters north of Alice Town lies a strange underwater rock formation, which is called Atlantis. Only 20 feet deep, it is an ideal spot for snorkelers and scuba divers. It is estimated to be between 5,000-10,000 years old.
