ALICE TOWN, Bimini – Often declared ‘the Gateway to The Bahamas,’ the island of Bimini, with its close proximity to the Florida has played host to a number of celebrities and thousands of boaters and fishing tournaments. Now-a-days, the island has regained its popularity for fishing, bright sandy beaches, tasty Bahamian dishes, the nightlife or the nonstop entertainment at Resorts World Bimini.
