There's not a lot on South Bimini except the airport, a local neighborhood on a canal system, Bimini Sands Resort/marina, Scuba Bimini & a scattering of very small shops. The shark lab is off the beaten path and usually hosts a variety of research students and a scattering of lemon sharks. Getting a ride across is easy. There is a reliable ferry for locals & tourists and a lot of private boats running across the harbor. A year ago the ferry from the gov. dock to S. Bimini was $3 per person. Hopefully that didn't change much.
