    San Salvador Bahamas:


    Type of Attraction: General Attraction
    Summary: Most visitors enjoy relaxing on the quiet beaches, scuba diving, snorkelling and fishing.

    Description: In 1492 Christopher Columbus made his first landfall on San Salvador Island during his historic voyage to the New World. Just 12 miles long and five miles wide, this unique island is the exposed peak of a submerged mountain that reaches 15,000 feet to the ocean floor. Columbus noted in his journal, "The beauty of these islands surpasses that of any other and as much as the day surpasses the night in splendour." The island was taken over by British buccaneer George Watling and he renamed San Salvador Island after himself (Watling Island). It wasn’t until 1925 when the island went back to its original name. Today, San Salvador is filled with monuments, ruins and shipwreck sites that directly reflect its rich history. Most visitors enjoy relaxing on the quiet beaches, scuba diving, snorkelling and fishing. Also, guests are welcome to tour the old plantation ruins, explore historical Lucayan Indian sites and climb up the old kerosene-operated lighthouse.
