Cat Island, the westernmost of islands, has a unique “T” shape which helps create an extensive and stable interior zone of maritime forest. Of all of the offshore islands, this has the largest amount of private ownership. Click here for complete information including maps, trails, lagoons, and passes.
All of the barrier islands can only be reached by boat. Click on the boat icon to the lower right for more information on charter services. If you are using a personal boat, the GPS way-point provided is for an area that is open to the public and easy to access.
