Caribbean Moment: Sunset in San Salvador, The Bahamas

By: Caribbean Journal Staff - December 26, 2022

It’s the most relaxing, beautiful island you’ve never heard of. This is San Salvador, the island made famous by Columbus’ first landfall in the New World, today a remarkably beautiful, endlessly serene, impossibly laid back island at the far eastern edge of The Bahamas.

Enjoy this sunset from the beach at The Sands Hotel in San Salvador in the latest Caribbean Moment.
