Bimini

It’s famous for many reasons, from a stay by Dr Martin Luther King, Jr to a chronicle by Ernest Hemingway. But the westernmost island of the Bahamas (just 50 miles from Miami) is also the Bahamas’ bonefishing capital. Bimini gives new meaning to the term laid-back. For a hotel stay, try Resorts World Bimini or the famous Bimini Big Game Club. There are daily direct flights to South Bimini International Airport from the US and you can take the Bimini Superfast ferry from Miami.
