Columbus landed on San Salvador in 1492
Farthest east of The Islands of the Bahamas and looking out to the Atlantic Ocean lies San Salvador, just 12 miles long and 5 miles wide. Home to miles of pristine and secluded beaches, an emerald sea of sparkling clarity and challenging reef and wreck dive sites, San Salvador is the ultimate escape for divers, fishermen, yachtsmen and anyone who yearns to relax in a serene atmosphere. The island is actually the exposed peak of a submerged mountain that plunges 15,000 feet to the ocean floor.
