Berry Islands Bahamas | Things to see and do
With its calm waters, gentle breezes, and endless possibilities for fun, this is truly an exceptional destination. There are countless activities for your Berry Islands Bahamas yacht charter. Here are just a few of the things you can see and do.
Fish
The Berry Islands offer plenty of fishing opportunities. Deep sea fish for marlin and big tuna, reef fish for grouper and snapper, or fly fish in the shallow flats for bonefish. The fish are biting year-round in the Berry Islands!
Scuba Dive
Bimini is on the Great Bahamas Bank, a limestone plateau with shallow, crystal-clear waters. Bimini’s location on the northwest edge of this bank places it right on a deep ocean trench. Fast-flowing, nutrient-rich waters from the Gulf Stream flow onto the Great Bahamas Bank around Bimini, bringing abundant marine life, including wild dolphins.
Divers can find dozens of sites, including coral reefs, walls, caverns, blue holes, and even shipwrecks.
Beachcomb
Bimini has some lovely beaches to explore. Some are more popular such as Radio Beach, while others are more secluded such as Blister Beach and Spook Hill Beach.
A few nearby cays with white sand and coral reefs would be the most secluded beach experiences.
Try Conch Salad
Taste local conch at Mr. Tropical’s Conch Stand. Known as the tropical Conch Salad king, Mr. Tropical creates a variety of conch salads to please his guests.
Visit The Village
Bullock’s Harbour, more commonly known as “The Village,” is the capital of The Berry Islands. There are also several shops, restaurants, and bars located here. For authentic Bahamian food, try CoolieMae’s Sunset By The Sea or Hammerhead’s Restaurant and Bar.
