The brief

The reason to consider it.

This slightly elevated beachfront lot offers over 300 feet of white sandy beach overlooking the crystal clear waters of the Bahamas. Located just 50 miles from the Florida coast, this island paradise is renowned for its big game fishing and relaxation. A short boat trip to North Bimini takes you to the Bimini Bay Resort Marina and Casino.

This 2.6-acre beachfront property is situated on South Bimini, a 3-minute walk from Bimini Cove Marina and Resort, another 3-minute walk from the ferry dock connecting South and North Bimini, and directly across from the Thirsty Turtle Restaurant. It is a perfect site for an island retreat.

What people say about Bahamas

Sources agree that foreigners can own Bahamian property outright and that an ordinary home purchase needs a registration filing through a Bahamian lawyer, not a discretionary permit.

  • Positive Foreign buyers mostly register rather than seek a permit; permit applies to large or commercial land
  • Mixed Closing costs are dominated by a 10% transfer VAT for foreign buyers, usually split with the seller, plus legal fees
  • Mixed Annual property tax is being reshaped in 2026 (new foreign owner-occupied category), and Bahamian realtors dispute fairness
  • Concern Vacant land owned by foreigners carries a notably heavier tax until built on
