Bimini Big Game Club Resort & Marina

Sapona was a concrete ship that had been damaged during a hurricane in Bimini during the 1920s. This shipwreck site has become a popular diving and snorkeling destination in Bimini, or go visit on a jetski or small boat. It’s a hub of vibrant marine life and corals, and with such a fascinating history the shipwreck attracts divers to explore it up to 20 feet into the crystal-clear water.

The charming Dolphin House is a unique artistic structure built by a local historian and author Ashley Saunders. A fondness for dolphins which he developed after swimming with them inspired him to create a house from recycled seashore materials. It’s even more intriguing to see the entire structure and to know that he has been working on it since 1993. The walls of the house are decorated with seashells, conch shells, dolphin mosaics, sea glass, corals, bottle scraps, coins and many more recyclable sea scraps. Short walk from the resort.
