Bimini
Bimini Sands Resort & Marina will once again host its annual, not-to-be-missed New Year’s Eve Fireworks spectacular at the Beach Club on South Bimini. The resort’s all-Inclusive Vacation Package for Fall & Winter 2014-2015 with rates starting at $165 (plus tax per person/per night) is still available with no blackout dates over the Christmas or New Year’s holidays. For more information, visit www.biminisands.com.
The Bimini Superfast ferry suspended departures to and from Fort Lauderdale mid-November and in its place introduced two-night cruises from the Port of Miami on Sundays, Tuesdays and Thursdays. The ship departs at 5 p.m. and returns at noon two days later. Land or sea overnight accommodations are available. Cruises begin at $199 per person and include all meals on board the ship and resort tram service. One way cruises service between Miami and Bimini is still available with fares beginning at $99.
