San Salvador

Approximately 635 square miles, San Salvador Island is the most historically important to all the islands in the Bahamas. San Salvador, originally called 'Guanahani' by the Lucayan Indians was discovered by Christopher Columbus in 1492. Today remain four monuments of the exact spot in which he landed ashore. This island is so serene with prominent markings of plantation ruins and artifacts from the days of the Lucayan Indians.

The beaches in San Salvador are so clear and deep blue that divers have visibility of up to 150 feet.
