Bimini Public Beach — Attraction in Bimini

Free beach right off the cruise port bridge. Easily walkable from ships.

Pros: Great view, proximity to cruise ship, no cost to entry

Cons: Smell. Not sure but I think there's a sewage treatment plant at the top of the hill. Much less noticeable closer to the water. It is what it is.

Other notes: Beach itself is free if you want to just bring towels and hang out. Anything past that, be ready to (over)pay for things (typical for vacation destinations).

23/chair rental for the day. 17/umbrella. 57 - 2 chairs and umbrella (they do take cards). If you get food, there will be an additional auto gratuity and tax added in at the food trucks.

Be warned, a single burger and fries will run about $23 after the add-ons. The 2 $22 orders of coconut shrimp turned into $56 after add-ons. No idea on drinks (but expect the same).

Don't trust the porta-potties to have toilet paper.

I rode the free tram that goes to Virgins resort world beach, but I didn’t get off. Just made a loop around and back to the ship. I would go back to the free beach. Water was clear. Very nice with just a little trash on the...

Nice little beach right next to the cruise port. There was a bit of seaweed but the water was SO CLEAR! It was beautiful, you can rent 2 chairs and an umbrella for $60 or a cabana that fits 6 for $225. They got some port a potties and some food/drink trucks there as well. They also have a place to spray sand off you which is nice as well. I liked being able to stay close to the ship but you can also take a shuttle to the...
