Hawks Nest beach

Hawks Nest is a beach in the south-west of Cat Island, Bahamas. Seabed is rocky, so the swimming is very uncomfortable. There is also a second beach located near marina, but it's too shallow. So it makes sense to stay here, only if you are going to use their marina. There is also good snorkeling and deep sea fishing. But it's like that everywhere on the island. Shore and seabed: stones, sand. [edit]

Hotels [edit]

Hawks Nest Resort & Marina is a three star property with its own marina and airport. This is a totally outdated spot, that needs renovation.

How to get there [edit]

Fly to Nassau international airport (NAS). Next make a domestic flight to New Bight airport (TBI) or to Arthur's Town airport (ATC).

When to go [edit]

The best time to travel to Cat Island is a dry season in the winter half of the year. However, the summer is also good. Since sea water is much warmer, and there are no crowds of tourists.
