Ninety-five miles southeast of Nassau, Cat Island, a fishhook-shaped island only 48 miles long and four miles across at the widest part. is the least inhabited island in The Bahamas with a population of just 1,678, has the highest elevation, and is the most fertile in the island chain.
For people looking for total seclusion, with miles of beautiful pink and white sand beaches, word-class diving, snorkelling and fishing sites, and 50 miles of beautiful rolling hills, rocky cliffs, empty beaches - especially the 8 mile pink sand beach - and cerulean waters, this is surely the destination.
With winter temperatures at 60 degrees, and the summertime, temperatures linger around the mid-80's with a gentle breeze from the ocean, Cat Island provides a year-round opportunity in a tropical environment to explore uninhabited cays and hidden coves, attend a regatta, go on a shark dive, hike a nature trail, snorkel in crystal clear waters, go fishing, laze on a pink sand beach, or just do absolutely nothing.
There are frequent flights to Cat Island from Nassau and South Florida, and there is a twice weekly mailboat service between the island and Nassau.
