Bimini Cove pool bar & restaurant (former Bimini Sands)

25° 42.6′ N · 79° 18.0′ W · approximate

South Bimini's resort dining: a poolside bar and restaurant at the oceanfront infinity pool of Bimini Cove Resort (the old Bimini Sands), where boaters stop for lunch, frozen cocktails and a swim after the Gulf Stream crossing.

Practical

Coordinate is the Bimini Cove marina position (ActiveCaptain); the pool, bar and restaurant are a short walk across the property on the ocean side. ActiveCaptain's marina listing says 'two restaurants, one pool' but its amenity note calls the food 'limited to a poolside snack bar', and a 2021 reviewer found the resort a 'ghost town' off-season, so call ahead before planning dinner here: 242-347-3500 or VHF 68 (often not monitored). That same ActiveCaptain review still praised the food and frozen drinks at the infinity pool. Other South Bimini options: the 40s Bar and Restaurant and Thirsty Turtle by the ferry dock, Smalls Takeout burger shack a short walk from the marina (Wikivoyage), and the Bimini Beach Club restaurant at Port Royal (Wikivoyage mentions sushi; OpenStreetMap tags its bar as closed, so check). For more choice take the water taxi to Alice Town.
