Cat Island
Top 6 in Top 10 Best Islands in the Bahamas
Cat Island is one of the few places in The Bahamas that hasn't been overrun by tourists. While many visitors come to relax and unwind, there is still plenty to see and do on this 150-square-mile island. Hikers can ascend a stone staircase to Mount Alvernia's peak, which rises 206 feet above sea level.
The island's most unusual features include Boiling Hole, Mermaid Hole, and Big Blue Hole, which are all claimed to be the homes of mystical aquatic animals. If you wish to spend time in the ocean, you can join diving expeditions to a variety of spots off Cat Island's shore. Santa Maria Teresa, the ruin of a 360-foot Spanish battleship lost in 1898, is a famous destination.
Salient features: Excellent for disconnecting from the world.
