What kind of stores and shops are on Bimini?
There are two small convenience stores located on South Bimini, as well as three bars/restaurants. Most shopping facilities are on North Bimini, where Alicetown and Bailey Town are located. There are several small shops, restaurants, the Bimini Museum, and the Bimini Straw Market. Volunteers can visit all of these places by foot, during their free time. • Can I receive mail while at the BBFS? Volunteers and staff can receive mail and packages directly to the Sharklab at: Sharklab, South Bimini, Bahamas (that is the entire address) though it is not recommended for volunteers staying for only a single month. For longer term volunteers, packages can be sent direct to Bimini. Please note that most revenue in the Bahamas is generated by import duties and as such packages sent to Bimini could incure duty rates as high as 35%. • Does the BBFS have laundry machines? The Sharklab has a washing machine for staff and volunteer clothing and linens. Clothes are hung on lines out back to dry. Laundr
