Being one of the southeasternmost islands in the Bahamas chain, San Salvador is just twelve miles long by five miles wide and home to approximately 950 residents. Life on San Salvador is pretty much as unhurried as it has been through the ages. It is still quiet, friendly and unspoiled with miles of deserted beaches and lush underwater life that was discovered by scuba divers in the 1970s.

Today, San Salvador is known world wide for the quality and diversity of the diving. With over 50 dive sites to choose from -- there is a great variety to keep traveling divers happy. Normal daily visibility is in the 100 foot plus range with visibility sometimes up to 300!

San Salvador is known for world class bill fishing! Fishing charters are available.

San Salvador island is serviced by Bahamas Air from Nassau, Spirit Airlines from Ft. Lauderdale as well as a Saturday weekly charter flight from Ft. Lauderdale

This is the island that Christopher Columbus supposedly discovered in October 1492. Numerous monuments have been erected. There is also a lighthouse that is one of a few that is still operated by kerosene!
