History
Cat Island is known for its rich, colorful history. Named after the pirate Arthur Catt, Cat Island offers many unique attractions that will take you back in time. It is said that pirates once lay in wait right here in Bennett's Harbour. Sailors traveling the ancient shipping lanes of Exuma Sound with precious cargo often paid the ultimate price.
Explore the island and you will find ruins of loyalist cotton plantations from bygone days. A few miles over the island to the east is the untouched north shore for surf-fishing and treasure hunting. Or, for the brave of heart, you can grab a flashlight and explore a nearby bat cave. Down south in The Bight, climb Mt. Alvernia, home of "The Hermitage" for its unmatched breathtaking view. Further south you can see the Arawak cave at Columbus Point, considered by many Bahamians to be the first place that Christopher Columbus landed in the "New World". Come and enjoy the beautiful beaches and relax in the turquoise sea.
