I've seen what I take to be the "Bimini Road" and am not too sure that it is not actually a natural formation. I've walked on it and once scared myself by stepping on a flounder. It comes right into the beach in front of Alice Town, but is in 10 or more feet of water further north, around Paradise Point.

Of course, I like Bimini alot, unlike other island vacation spots, there's nothing there to do except fish hard and drink hard, which is what people do and have done who go there, all the way back to Hemingway.

All the quirky histories, such as the "Bimini Road," the "Healing Hole," the "Fountain of Youth," the long history of smuggling, add to its weird, but compelling, tropical charm. With the brilliant turquoises and blues of the ocean and crystal clear water and sandy beaches, the Biminis are beautiful little islands.

I've seen more 'creditable' reports about The Bimini Road being a natural formation than I've seen otherwise. The key word is 'creditable.' I spent a little time in the region in the '62-'64 time frame myself.
