Brown's Hardware (Bailey Town)

25° 44.3′ N · 79° 17.4′ W

Bimini's hardware and building-supply store on the King's Highway in Bailey Town: the place for fasteners, hose clamps, tools, paint and plumbing bits when something breaks after the crossing.

Practical

Position from OpenStreetMap ('Kng Brown Hardware', phone 347-2620). The Bahamas Cruisers Guide (2012) lists Brown's Hardware, Bailey Town, 242-347-2620, and King Brown Hardware & Building, Alice Town, 242-347-3400. ActiveCaptain listings say hardware is about a 5 minute walk from the Big Game Club and that there is a marina hardware store next door to Browns Marina. Stock is general building hardware, not a chandlery; there is no marine store with a wide range of parts in Bimini, so carry spares or order from Florida. Hours not published: phone ahead.
