CAT ISLAND, BAHAMAS
FREE AND FUN
The Hermitage
The Hermitage was built in 1939 by Monsignor John Hawes. It was built with local stone and is located on Mt. Alvernia, the highest point in all of the Bahamas. The mountain stands over 206 feet tall.
John Hawes used the Hermitage as a place to escape the world, but died in 1956. It is said that he is buried somewhere on the property.

Mermaid Hole
Okay, so you don't beleive in sea monsters...But what about Mermaids? In Bain Town you will find a lake that many believe is home to real mermaids. Legend has it that there are 4 bedholes within the lake that lead to a series of underground caves and caverns.

Scuba Diving
Cat Island is home to some amazing dive spots. Unfortunately, because it is not a tourist hotspot, you will have a hard time finding any local tour operators. With that said, if you have your own equipment and are a confident diver, there are plenty diving spots that offer an abundance of underwater life.
