Bimini Bay is a Key West style community in the heart of Apollo Beach, tucked away from the hustle & bustle of city life. This family-friendly community - designed with safety and convenience in mind - has a beautiful guard gate and privacy wall surrounding it and is located across the street from Apollo Beach Elementary, A Readiness Learning Academy (preschool/ daycare), and Apollo Beach Christian Preschool. Bimini Bay is truly a place you can relax, where your children play safely and your social events are a breeze at our beautiful clubhouse & pool!
Bimini Bay is also the perfect place to retire. In 2007, Forbes and Kiplinger's rated Tampa Bay the nation's #1 most retirement-friendly metro. It is easy to see why, with the incredible weather, golf courses, and wide array of shopping & entertainment venues! Located at the southern tip of Tampa Bay, Bimini Bay is central to some of the country's most popular active-adult locales:
* 10 min. from Sun City Center, one of the U.S.'s largest retirement communities
* 35-50 min. from Sarasota/ Bradenton and St. Petersburg/ Clearwater, both known for their beautiful white sugar-sand beaches & large population of people 55 years & up
With I-75 a few minutes away, Bimini Bay is close to many amenities and popular attractions that we hope you will explore!
