Bahamas Philately: Bimini

Bimini is the western-most district of the Bahamas and comprises a chain of islands and is the closest point in the Bahamas to the mainland United States. The largest islands are North Bimini and South Bimini. The first inhabitants on the island were the Lucayans, and the name “Bimini” means “two islands” in the Lucayan language.

Bimini is home to several landmarks said to contain mystical properties of obscure origins. Much of the historical data about these places is speculative in nature, and experts in various fields have opined across the full spectrum of explanation. The most contentious of these sites is The Bimini Road.
