Bimini is becoming an increasingly popular cruise port, offering visitors a variety of ways to spend their day beyond the standard cruise line excursions. Whether you’re looking for a luxurious beach club, a cultural adventure, or a laid-back day of exploration, Bimini has something for everyone.
If you’re sailing with Virgin Voyages, you’ll have complimentary access to Resort World Beach Club, a stunning beachfront escape. If you’re cruising with another line, you may still be able to visit for around $40 per person, provided a Virgin ship isn’t docked at the same time.
At Resort World Beach Club, you’ll find:
To get there, simply hop on the tram from the pier and enjoy a scenic ride to the club. If you’re looking for the best seating, it’s recommended to arrive early—by 10 AM, prime spots may already be taken.
If you prefer a budget-friendly beach day, there are several free beaches on the island. One is right off the pier, but during our visit, it wasn’t a popular choice due to an unpleasant smell that day. There are additional beaches further along the coast that offer better conditions. Most of these beaches have chairs and umbrellas available for rent, so be sure to check pricing before settling in.
One of the best ways to explore Bimini is by renting a golf cart. This is a fun and efficient way to see the island at your own pace. When you disembark, you can either:
Expect to be approached by several rental operators—this is a great chance to ask questions or negotiate pricing. Generally, prices start at $80-$100 for the day, but rates may vary depending on demand and weather conditions.

If you’re renting a golf cart, most of the attractions are on the southern portion of North Bimini, accessible via a single main road. Here’s the highlights and recommendations from our trip:





If you have extra time, you might also want to check out:

Bimini offers a mix of relaxation, adventure, and culture, making it an ideal port stop for any type of traveler. Whether you opt for Resort World Beach Club, explore the island by golf cart, or simply find a quiet beach to unwind, you’re sure to have an unforgettable experience.

As I grew up, my main bucket list item became to visit all 50 states (which I just completed in 2023 with an island-hopping trip in Hawaii)! When asked what my favorite type of vacation is I never have an answer – I love to do it all! And now being a mom of two young kids it has been fun getting more into the family vacations for our own family.I plan vacations because I love to help people have the best experience and make unforgettable memories.
