The Bimini Chain is lightly populated with the center of village life located on North Bimini, in Alice Town. There are many small restaurants, shops, and bars, as well as the Hemingway Museum at the Complete Angler. Marinas are abundant if you decide not to anchor out. The beaches on North Bimini offer fine white sand and good snorkeling from the waters edge. Golf Carts and Mopeds are available for rent so you can explore the island. One of the most interesting dive and snorkel sites off of North Bimini is "Bimini Road", which some say is the ruin of the lost city of Atlantis.

South Bimini is primarily residential with only two marinas. The new Bimini Sands Marina is located at the entrance to the harbor and has a Customs and Immigration office so you can clear in there without having to take a taxi and ferry over to North Bimini. Not far from the south end of Bimini lies the wreck of the "Sappona", a really great snorkel and dive site.

North Cat Cay is a private Island, but boaters are welcome to stay at the Marina and to exlore the area of the marina. You can visit the restaurant for fine dining or the small provisioning shop, dock bar, and gift shop. The marina is very beautiful and a good last night stop. Just south off the coast of Cat Cay is a phenominal dive site called "Tuna Alley" offering mooring balls and has a 50' to 80' caverns and crevasses in the coral.
