Things to do in San Salvador
San Salvador is a small, remote island on the eastern edge of the Bahamas, widely considered to be Guanahani, where Christopher Columbus first came ashore in the Americas in 1492. Known for centuries as Watling’s Island, it was renamed San Salvador in 1925. Today it is home to a resort, a research center that brings geologists and marine biologists from around the world, and a scattering of settlements around a landscape of interior lakes. The island’s steep offshore walls and clear water make it one of the Bahamas’ top diving destinations.
