This unspoiled island is named after the infamous pirate, Arthur Catt. Besides its deep history, culture, and folklore, the island is also home to one of the best climates in The Bahamas. Its location near the Tropic of Cancer means temperatures range from the mid-60s in the short winters to the high-80s in the summer, which make it perfect for getting out and exploring Cat Island’s untouched landscape. For a relaxing stay consider the Fountain Bay Resort, the Rollezz Bach Resort, or the Shannas Cove Resort.

Explore

If you want to stay dry, take a tour on a glass-bottom boat in Half Moon Cay and get a glimpse of the tropical sea life. For a more personal experience, take your mask and snorkel to admire the stingrays right in their habitat. You can also take a bike and venture into unexplored beaches, kayak through the waterways, or hike up Mount Alvernia, the highest point of The Bahamas at 206 feet above sea level, where a small monastery was built almost 80 years ago.

Play

Cat Island is a great destination for anglers looking for a serious catch: Willard Cleare is an experienced deep-sea fishing guide; "Top Cat" Gilbert, a native of Cat Island, is an expert fishing guide and Certified Bonefishing Champion who is available virtually all year long – by appointment only; and Hawk's Nest Resort & Marina offers half and full-day crewed charters. To relax at the end of the day, don't miss Rake and Scrape music which is performed with instruments made from recycled objects.

Shop

The deep history of the island is reflected in the unique hand-made souvenirs offered by local artisans. You'll find hats, baskets, handbags and many other items made of straw, as well as local island art. A wide variety of merchandise is also available at the resorts including apparel, jewelry, and gifts.

Feast

Cat Island will surprise you with many options to feast. You can enjoy a barbecue buffet with grilled fish, burgers, and refreshing salads at Tropics Restaurant in Half Moon Beach.
