American Airlines will launch a nonstop flight from Miami to Bimini, beginning early next year

The new route will operate three times a week from Miami International Airport (MIA).  They are scheduled to travel on Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays. The flight will be aboard an Embraer 175, operated by the regional carrier Envoy Air under the American Eagle brand.

This will be American Airlines’ shortest international flight, it will offer convenient connections for travelers coming from more than 80 destinations in the U.S. and Canada.

The launch coincides with the opening of a new, expanded terminal at South Bimini International Airport, which is scheduled for early 2026.

Without a doubt, this will give tourists and locals more options when it comes to traveling to and from the U.S. The information on their prices vary depending on the website, I tried checking their page but I couldn’t find any information. As soon as I have more information about it I will post it here.

Koko Plum: The New approach to Bimini Cuisine with a twist

Now you can enjoy an order of fish fingers right by the canal between North and South Bimini. Located at the end of North Bimini, this new restaurant has it all, music, art, massage and one of the freshest food we’ve had on the island.

The view is just impressive,, the water color is one of a kind. Once you enter the establishment, you will feel welcomed. There’s local music, a Bimini native will be showing you his painting skills, you can even buy one of his creations. Have teenagers? No problem, just have them play in their beach volleyball courtyard. Stressed out? Why not get a nice massage by the sea while listening to the seagulls. They even have chairs and umbrellas for rent.

The food is incredibly fresh, we tried their fish fingers, conch fritters and they were just amazing, They have rice and fries among many other side dishes. I’ve heard their pasta salad is excellent.

So next time you are in Bimini, why not stop by this new take on local Bimini food, you will not regret it!

The Sushi Bar @ Resort World Bimini

This is the best place on the island to get sushi, (well actually it’s the only one, lol) But believe me when I tell you, this place ranks up there of asian places on my list. Each time I go to Bimini, it’s non-negotiable, we must go at least one day. I really enjoy their fried rice as well as the Rock & Roll Shrimp Roll , which has shrimp tempura, minced shrimp, scallions, cucumber, spicy mayonnaise, and eel sauce. It is to die for! We usually start with miso soup and an order of spring rolls. Their food is fresh and definitely very gourmet.

One thing to keep in mind when ordering at any of the Resort World restaurants is that the price you see on the menu is not the final price. You have to add a 10% VAT which are the Bahamian sales tax and a 20% for service charge.

This is one thing that a lot of local establishments in town do not have, especially when paying cash. That is why I recommend bringing cash to the island because it is the preferred payment method in the local businesses.

Fishing in Bimini

Bimini is a renowned sportfishing destination for a wide variety of species, with excellent year-round fishing for bonefish and grouper, and seasonal opportunities for billfish, tuna, and wahoo. You can experience deep-sea, reef, and flats fishing, with summer being ideal for marlin, dolphin, and permit, and winter favored for mackerel and wahoo. Bimini offers many fishing charters, marinas, and bait shops to support anglers and requires a permit for non-Bahamian citizens fishing on non-Bahamian vessels.

Many people come to Bimini just to fish, it is such a good spot to do so! Ernest Hemingway, the famous American author, fished extensively in Bimini in the mid-1930s, staying at the Compleat Angler Hotel and using his boat, the Pilar, to troll for big game fish like marlin, tuna, and swordfish in the Gulf Stream. His experiences there contributed to his writing, including the posthumous novel Islands in the Stream, and he helped establish Bimini as a world-class big-game fishing destination, even playing a role in the early formation of the International Game Fish Association (IGFA)
