Bimini

Off the beaten path on South Bimini is the Bimini Biological Station we affectionately call the Bimini Shark Lab. Established in 1990 by Dr. Samuel Gruber the station studies, tracks migrations of, and promotes the conservation of sharks in the surrounding waters. Featured in every Shark Week to some extent they also offer swimming with the sharks in a controlled environment. This group of volunteers are true pioneers and will make the visit worth your time.

Normans Cay

This small island in The Exumas had a sorted history in the late 1970s and early 1980s with Carlos Lehder using the island as a distribution location for illegal smuggling. The history of the island was made famous in the book “Turning the Tide” describing how Robert Novak helped to break up the operation. Today Lehder’s home remains as well as the ruins of one of the cargo planes that crashed landed. Visit the island and learn of the history staying at McDuff’s Cottages.
