Is Cat Island a good place for families?
Your 2, 4 and 15 year old will all enjoy the beach and the water. The creek is a great place to explore at low tide, especially with the little ones. I would suggest bringing some sand toys and perhaps an inexpensive blow up pool for playing on the beach. The Hermitage is a nice way to see some local culture without spending a lot of time in the car. It’s about 6 miles away and is a nice little hike to the top of Mt. Alvernia. There is a small waterfront restaurant at the base where you can get cold sodas and visit with the ladies that work there. You can stop by Olive King’s house and buy some homemade bread and local Flour Cakes from her. At the Hawks Nest resort they have a nice pool the kids might enjoy for a few hours while you have lunch there. It’s about a 30 minute car ride. Louise Saunders comes to the resort most days selling local baskets that she makes the kids will enjoy talking with her and they can even get some straw work with their names on it. You’ll really enjoy expl
