Cat Island

Cat Island Essentials

Cat Island features the Bahamas' highest elevation at Mount Alvernia, topped by the hand-carved stone Hermitage built in 1939. This quiet island is defined by the pink-sand shoreline of Old Bight Beach and the sheltered, clear waters of Fernandez Bay. Inland, the Great Lake offers a mangrove-rich habitat for birdlife, while Hawks Nest Marina provides a deep-water harbor and private airstrip at the island's southwestern tip.
