San Salvador Island cruise port guide
About San Salvador Island
San Salvador Island in the Bahamas is historically renowned as the probable site of Christopher Columbus's first landfall in the Americas on October 12, 1492. A small, quiet island with a population of just 824 people, it features pristine beaches, exceptional diving on unspoiled coral reefs, and the Club Med Columbus Isle resort near Cockburn Town. The island's remoteness ensures uncrowded, authentic experiences.
The Columbus landfall monument on the western shore is the main historical site. The island's underwater world is its greatest attraction: shallow fringing reefs allow snorkelers to observe hundreds of fish species. The Club Med Columbus Isle resort is the main tourism infrastructure. The Cockburn Town Fossil Reef showcases Pleistocene-era corals near the main settlement.
