Take Flight (Like a Fabulous Flamingo)
Forget flapping your own wings (unless you're in a fabulous flamingo costume, then go for it!). Several airlines offer quick hops from Fort Lauderdale or Miami to Bimini. In under an hour, you'll be swapping flip flops for island time. Pro Tip: Pack your swimsuit in your carry-on, because trust us, you'll be itching to hit the beach after that scenic flight.
Set Sail on the High Seas (Without Getting Seasick)
Feeling more like a salty sea dog? The ferry from Fort Lauderdale is your chariot to Bimini bliss. The ride takes around 3 hours, but fear not, there's duty-free shopping onboard (perfect for souvenirs or bribing seasickness away). Grab a Bahama Mama, soak up the sun on the deck, and watch Florida fade into the horizon.
