Columbus Landings Vacation Rentals
San Salvador is one of the better known Bahaman islands and is reputed to be the spot where Columbus first set foot to dry land in the Caribbean. San Salvador is a short 55 minute flight from Florida, so you can quickly get settled into your vacation rental, ready to enjoy the best vacation ever. Circled almost entirely by white-sanded beaches, San Salvador's main road—the Queen's Highway—enables visitors to drive around the entire island, which puts the Columbus Landings resorts about 15 minutes from the airport.

San Salvador is covered with both fresh and salt water lakes and local attractions include monuments, ruins and one of the last functioning kerosene lighthouses.

Interesting sites in Cockburn Town include the Native American New World museum, the Columbus Landing memorial and Nat Walker's Island Adventures. Nat Walker's is a tourist service and rents air-conditioned cars and buses for tours of the island. The owner and tour guide, Nat Walker, is also the Warden for the Bahamas National Trust and can provide interesting insight into island history.
