Fodor's Expert Review Dolphin House

Bimini historian and poet laureate Ashley Saunders has spent decades constructing this eclectic home and guesthouse from materials salvaged from local construction sites and the sea, while writing a two-volume set on Bimini's history. He offers walking tours, which begin with a tour of his structure—named for the 27 mosaic, sculpted, and painted dolphins throughout—then continue through Alice Town to tell the island's history. His books on the history of Bimini make for a fascinating read and souvenir. You'll see intricate conch shell and coconut crafts for sale.
