Beach· Cat Island· Bahamas — Eleuthera, Andros & the Out Islands
Pigeon Cay Beach (The Bluff)
24° 31.6′ N · 75° 36.2′ W · approximate
A private, uncrowded white-sand beach on Cat Island's lee shore about three miles south of Bennett's Harbour, home to the small Pigeon Cay Beach Club cottages near The Bluff settlement.
Practical
Coordinate is approximate: the resort says it is about three miles south of Bennett's Harbour near The Bluff, so the ActiveCaptain Alligator Point anchorage marker (about 2.5 nm south of Bennett's) is used as the nearest charted reference; confirm the beach on arrival. The resort offers breakfast ($18 per person) and dinner Wednesday to Saturday ($35 per person) plus 15% gratuity, and runs a Palapa Beach honour bar (undated rates, verify locally); call (242) 354-5084 before landing, as the property is private. Guests get snorkel gear, so there is reef nearby. Lee-side, so calm in E trades.
Best for
A quiet lee-side beach and a booked dinner ashore
Season
Nov–May in E trades
