Cat Island remains relatively untouched by tourists, making its pristine beaches
and dense forests havens of peace and beauty. Visitors can swim and snorkel
in several locations, and diving lessons are available for beginners. The 8-mile
long Pink Sand Beach is one of the favoured destinations for lazy afternoons
in the sun. Other attractive beaches include Fountain Bay Beach, located near
Bridge Inn, with its natural fountain located in bushes near the bone fish flats,
and Old Bight Beach, in the town of Old Beach, whose five miles of brilliant
white sand afford a perfect opportunity for sunbathing or shelling.
The Hermitage, on Mt Alvernia, was built by Father Jerome, who was famous for
building cathedrals and convents throughout the Bahamas. From its vantage point
on top of the highest peak in the Bahamas, one is afforded a magnificent view
over the island. Another important building on Cat Island is the Deveaux Mansion,
an 18th century plantation house which can be visited for an insight into the
early settlers’ lifestyle.
While enjoying the peaceful scenery and water sports on offer, visitors should
stroll through some of the small island towns, where island hospitality invites
you to relax and enjoy the slow pace of life.
