The Berry Islands are a scattered group of small islands and cays in the central Bahamas, located between New Providence and Andros.

Much of the landscape consists of low limestone islands with sandy beaches, scrub vegetation, mangroves, tidal flats, and sheltered coves.
Cat Island, one of the more unspoiled Out Islands of The Bahamas, is a destination that feels worlds away from the busier resort hubs. Stretching about 50 miles long, the island is lined with pink-sand beaches, rolling green hills, and quiet fishing villages where time seems to stand still.
