San Salvador is famous for its big game fishing.
San Salvador is perhaps most famous for its world-class, big game-fishing. The south-eastern Bahama islands are considered some of the best fishing for wahoo, Blue Marlin, tuna and dolphin. San Salvador and its sister island Rum Cay, as well as Cat Island continue to be a favorite location for those who want to get away from the crowds and focus on the fish. Tournaments are held annually in the South-eastern Bahamas. The island is also known for scuba diving and kitesurfing. There are many dive sites with caves, crevices, grottos, reefs and walls. The sheltered waters of Snow Bay on the eastern coast of San Salvador is a favorite kitesurfing destination due to its flat water. For fly fishing, the flats of Pigeon Creek are a must! Minutes from the airport, there is a full-service marina with 25 slips capable of accommodating boats up to 140 feet in length.
