If I had to go to Bimini again, I would go to the beach that’s immediately to the right of the ship. It is next to a sewage treatment plant, but I think it’s far enough away that it hopefully won’t smell. At that beach, there are some enterprising Bahamians that will provide a chair and umbrella, and even some drinks, for a fee.
I don’t want to scare anybody off about the sewage plant, but there is another beach, just next to resorts world. It’s a public beach, and similarly, enterprising locals have chairs, umbrellas, drinks, and even some snacks. I talked to a couple that went to that beach, and they enjoyed their interactions with the gentleman that helped them and had a great time for about a third of the money.
