San Salvador Bahamas
Direct Flights, Club Med, and Columbus
San Salvador Bahamas is best known for its claim to fame that it was the first island in the Caribbean/Atlantic Ocean that Columbus arrived at on his search for the New World. Even though, in some circles the fact is still debatable, San Salvador holds the official distinction as Columbus' first landfall on his journey across the Atlantic Ocean from Spain. The second thing San Salvador is best known for today is Club Med. Yes, that pervasive, all inclusive resort chain that has locations in the Caribbean, Mexico, and Tahiti.
This lovely island is also a diving mecca.
The Riding Rock Marina
has hosted dive groups on vacation for over 50 years! The visibility in the crystalline waters surrounding San Salvador is unbelievable! You can see up to 150 feet into the salty depths! In spite of the resort development, the marine life is still quite prolific here. There are plenty of large sharks, diverse reef fish, and colorful corals.
In addition to a stunning underwater view, the island has miles of scenic, deserted beaches. There are so many fabulous beach spots to choose from that, even with the resort tourism, you can be sure to find one all to yourself. This is a beautiful island that offers a simple and relaxed getaway relatively close to the United States.
