Welcome to Cat Island, a land with matchless mystique and allure among the 700 islands of the Bahamas.

Cat Island is known as an oasis of culture. ?Its settlements are rich with storytellers, dancers, and musicians who have a passion for our special rhythms and rhymes. It is common to hear the distinct sounds of rake ‘n scrape drift in from the hills, a local watering spot or backyard gathering as Cat Islanders enjoy leisurely evenings together.

This island is also a bastion of Bahamian cuisine. ?Here, you will be treated to delicacies freshly collected from the land and sea, and prepared the Cat Island way. You would be delighted to discover the unforgettable tastes of flour cake, cassava bread, potato bread, stewed fish, fever grass tea and more.

Cat Island is home to our highest elevation, Mt. Alvernia, which is also known as Como Hill. ?Atop Como Hill, sits a remarkable work of architecture called The Hermitage, and the only thing more breathtaking than the architecture is the magnificent view from the hill.

The roads of Cat Island are lined with historic places of interest, including the ruins of plantation-era buildings. ?Just as satisfying, are the many miles of lovely pink and white sand beaches to which those roads
also lead.

The sights and sounds of mystical Cat Island are sure to please, and a special place will always be reserved for you on this island of music and myth.
