San Salvador (Watling Island)
See more Islands. See best of Bahamas
‘San Salvador (Watlings Island)’San Salvador is mostly known for its varied marine life and shallow-reef corals and there are many good reef and wreck diving spots. On the north end of the island is a research centre where marine biology, geology and archaeology are studied. San Salvador is one of the sites claiming to be where Columbus first came ashore during his famous 1492 voyage, and there are several monuments to the spot around Long Bay. Around one thousand people live on San Salvador and despite the main industry being tourism the island isn’t too busy (yet).
