DID YOU KNOW? North Bimini is home to a popular beach in Alice Town called Radio Beach. But why is it called Radio Beach? Well, the answer is that the beach got its name from the old radio station that used to be housed in the now-abandoned Bimini Mack building adjacent to the beach in Alice Town. From this location, Morse code a 175-year-old mode of communication was used to send messages from Bimini to the rest of the world. You see in the early days of Bimini during the 1920s prohibition era when the first vacationers arrived at its shores by air and sea to experience a place where regulations simply did not exist, there were no telephones, cellphones or email to communicate quickly just Morse code which uses a sequence of dots and dashes transmitted by on-off keying of an information-carrying medium such as electric current, radio waves, visible light, or sound waves. Wow, things sure have changed! 🐬🇧🇸 http://www.historyofbimini.com #HistoryofBimini #RealBimini #RadioBeach #Morsecode #TheBahamas
