Enjoy San Salvador Island In The Bahamas



Untitled Document

San Salvador, one of the many small islands that make up the Bahamas, is a beautiful and cultured place, with a rich history. In addition to its lovely beaches, it offers a wide variety of sights and activities.

Among the interesting cultural sites is the New World Museum. This is found on North Victoria Hill, and is open every day during daylight hours, although you may have to invest a little time in finding someone to let you in. This museum features exhibits of artifacts left behind by the original native tribes that inhabited the island before the arrival of the Europeans. Quiet and private, this is a thought provoking experience.

There are many unusual historic structures in San Salvador. Watling's Castle, in Port Nelson, once belonged to the pirates that terrorized the towns and waters of the islands that make up the Bahamas. Also in Port Nelson is the Fortune Hill Plantation. Once a grand cotton producing plantation, it now is open to the public for tours. Farquharson's Plantation is found west of Queens Highway, not too far from South Victoria Hill. All that remains of this ambitious plantation are ruins, but the shape and size of the great house and kitchen areas can be detected in the foundation parts that remain. The failure of this plantation was assured when Britain signed the legislation that ended slavery.

Guanahani Dive Ltd. is located in San Salvador and has three boats available for charters, which allows them to offer a variety of tour packages. These include a selection of diving opportunities, snorkeling, fishing and boating trips.

They also offer a double occupancy 5 day and 4 night package, working with Riding Rock Inn, that features lodging, meals, transportation, diving and gear rental. The per diver rate is between $654 to $710.

There are remarkably secluded beaches, their natural beauty still unmarred by excessive commercial development. In the glistening blue waters that lap the edge of the 6-mile long East Beach, at Port Nelson, sharks can occasionally be seen. Bamboo point, Sandy Point, Long Bay and Fernandez Bay are other beach areas that should not be missed. These beaches usually quiet and peaceful and are excellent for swimming and snorkeling.

There are fine examples of Bahaman cuisine available for diners on San Salvador, and among the delectable offerings, of course, seafood figures prominently. At The Riding Rock Resort and Marina, they serve tuna and wahoo almost right out of the ocean. At the 80-acre compound that makes up the Club Med Resort on San Salvador, reservations by non-guests can be made to enjoy luxurious buffet style lunches and dinners.

San Salvador Island is the perfect vacation destination for people who enjoy spending time with each other. Quiet and secluded, far from the hustle and bustle of the tourist industries, this is an excellent place for families, newlyweds and second or third honeymoons. In short, if you're looking for a beautiful place, away from the rapid pace of your daily life, where you can relax and enjoy the offerings and activities of the island without being too distracted from the most important thing of all - each other - then San Salvador Island is the perfect Bahamas travel destination for you.
