- Bimini Museum (Alice Town Museum) — Small but well-curated: local artifacts, old fishing photos, and displays about the island’s Lucayan and Bahamian history. Great place to get context before wandering the town.
- Bay Street (Alice Town main street) — The town’s lively spine: duty-free shops, souvenir stalls, seafood counters and that relaxed island hustle where you can people-watch and sample real Bahamian snacks.
- Alice Town Ferry Terminal / Port of Entry — More than a transportation hub: you’ll feel the island’s pulse here, with vendors, fishers, and the comings and goings that make local life visible. Handy starting point for walks and photo ops of the waterfront.
- Bimini Big Game Club & Marina — Historic sportfishing lodge and marina with old-school charm. Even if you’re not staying,

- Bimini Big Game Club & Marina — Historic sportfishing lodge and marina with old-school charm. Even if you’re not staying, the dockside vibe and tales of big catches (and Hemingway lore) are worth experiencing.
- Bimini Biological Field Station (“Shark Lab”) — A working research station that studies sharks and coastal ecosystems. They sometimes host public talks and guided visits—visit for a meaningful, science-forward look at the island’s marine life (check ahead for access).
- Alice Town Boardwalk & Small Marinas — Walkable, low-rise docks and finger piers where local boats tie up, fishermen clean their catch, and you can watch the water traffic—an authentic, photographic slice of daily island life.
- Town Beach / Alice Town public beach — A short stroll from the shops: shallow, sandy, and good for a quick swim or sunset sit-down. Less manicured than resort beaches but full of local character.
- Local Craft Stalls & Market Stands — Scattered along Bay Street and near the docks: handmade jewelry, woven goods, and conch-shell souvenirs sold by residents. It’s the best place to meet makers and bring home something with a story.
- Community Churches and Small Cultural Spaces — Visit a local church service or the civic hall events if timing allows: they’re where music, food, and community history are most alive in the village.
- Fishermen’s Quays and Fish Markets — Simple, direct, and delicious: watch or buy the day’s catch, chat with fishers about local species, and try freshly grilled seafood from tiny stands—this is food culture in action.
