CAT ISLAND
A 150 sq mile island with little over 1,500 residents, Cat Island’ s quiet, pristine setting will be sure to enchant you. This is not the place for buzz and excitement. It is not the place for fancy dresses and high heels, neither is it the place for those whose sanity depends on the ability to exercise their right to shop. Oh, no! Cat Island is for those seeking refuge and a brief respite from the rigours of everyday life. If you are one of those, who, at the thought of scenic solitude, will sigh with contentment, then Cat
Island is the place for your next vacation. Scenic solitude, we say, because Cat Island’ s environs are picture-perfect. From its beaches, to its hills, sunsets and views- it’ s all breath-taking. It’ s perfect for families- after all, the kids can have an entire beach all to themselves, but, it will also please those who love to snorkel- there’ s marine life aplenty. Or, you may prefer to go kayaking, swimming or paddleboarding.
Amidst all the beauty within this unspoiled gem, there are accommodations, if you need it, restaurants, and the friendliest locals you can find anywhere. But that’ s not all. Rent a bike and explore. Walk up the hill to the top of Mount Alvernia, the highest peak in the Bahamas, which stands at 206 feet. There’ s a lot of history here and also at the ruins of Armbrister Great House.
We, who know, do admit there is enough to do on Cat Island to keep you ocupied, but if you wish to do nothing, that’ s also an option.
