For many years, South Bimini tourists were limited to boaters because there were few accommodations other than private homes. South Bimini later added South Bimini Airport.
Juan Ponce de León and his search for the Fountain of Youth included references to Bimini. Arawak and/or Taíno spoke of a land called Beimini where the fountain could be found. Although the location was erroneously associated with the Bahamas. The fountain was rumoured to exist within the shallow pools of South Bimini. Today there is a small freshwater well with a plaque commemorating the Fountain of Youth.
