About South Bimini Airport

Overview

South Bimini Airport serves the Bahamian island of South Bimini, located in the western Bahamas approximately 50 miles east of Miami, Florida. As a medium-sized airport with a single 5,409-foot asphalted runway, it provides critical aviation access to this small but strategically positioned island in the Caribbean region.

Flying Conditions

The airport's low elevation of 10 feet mean sea level indicates minimal terrain variations and typically stable atmospheric conditions. Being situated in the Atlantic hurricane zone, pilots should anticipate potential seasonal weather fluctuations, particularly during the June through November hurricane season that can significantly impact regional flying conditions.

Notable Features

South Bimini's runway orientation of 09/27 suggests the airport is aligned with predominant regional wind patterns. The island's coastal location means pilots can expect potential maritime meteorological influences, including sea breezes, variable wind conditions, and potential visibility challenges from marine layer developments.

Approach Considerations

With a single runway configuration, pilots should carefully assess wind direction and strength when planning approaches to runway 09 or 27. The airport's proximity to ocean environments requires standard maritime navigational awareness, particularly regarding potential wind shear and localized atmospheric changes typical of island airports.
