Location: Located over 300 miles from Miami, "Cat Island" should not be confused with "Cat Cay", which is part of "The Bimini Islands". Cat Island's distinction from the other Islands is that it is home to the highest point in the Bahamas. Mount Alvernia is 206' above sea level. Cat Island Bahamas is the sixth largest island in the chain. It is located approximately 135 miles southeast of Nassau and 25 miles south of Eleuthera.

Cat Island is the ideal vacation spot if you're looking for a quiet relaxing getaway. It's 150 square miles of beaches, forests, and rolling hills gives Cat Island the feeling of peaceful tranquility. With a population under 2,000, you'll be able to enjoy quiet walks on the beautiful beaches...including the eight mile long "Pink Sand Beach".

It is believed that Cat Island was named after the pirate "Arthur Catt", who was known to have frequented the island. There are numerous historical sites to see while visiting Cat Island Bahamas. One such place is "The Hermitage", a monastery built by Father Jerome. Father Jerome was a reclusive Roman Catholic Priest who was known for building cathedrals and convents all over The Bahamas. He passed on in 1956 but a little piece of his architecture remains at the top of Mount Alvernia.

The Bahamas are home to some of the most sought after game fish in the world. Whether you are an avid fisherman or new to the sport, you are sure to enjoy the challenge of reeling in "the big one". Beautiful fish, colorful corals, sea fans, and seashells in their most natural state can be appreciated the best way by diving.
