Ferry Dock (South Bimini)

Ferry Dock (South Bimini) is a crystal-clear, sandy, shallow-water launch area with an accessible dock location for riders arriving by ferry. Conditions are described as flat to shallow with chop, and the clarity makes it easier to spot bottom hazards. Wind is typically driven by consistent easterly trades, with best performance tied to northerly to northwesterly components in the sources, and NE being highlighted as the top wind direction. Typical usable wind is reported in the 15–25 knots range, and the best months cluster around January through April plus October through December. For kitesurfing, the spot is presented as well-suited to intermediate riders, with freeride and wave-kite use noted. For wingfoiling, shallow flats are described as suitable as long as you avoid the immediate dock area where ferry/water-taxi operations and pilings concentrate. The main safety emphasis is boat/ship traffic: riders are repeatedly cautioned to give way to motorized vessels and avoid the ferry path and the most traffic-heavy sections near the landing and pilings. Rescue support is not described as dedicated or guaranteed, so self-sufficiency and careful traffic awareness are important. Water temperature is warm year-round (with monthly ranges provided by one source), and wetsuit needs are generally minimal—shorty/3/2 mm only when winter cold fronts pass; otherwise sun protection is the main requirement. Beach/spot comfort is described as medium-sized with easy access, but launch space can be limited near vegetation/infrastructure around the ferry landing.
