San Salvador

Once thought to be the first landing point of Columbus, the small and lightly populated island of San Salvador is a great place for serious fishers to visit year round.

And with miles of flats surrounding the island, you can quickly switch out your gear to try and catch the speedy and elusive bonefish. Stunning shallow-water reefs, numerous deep sea hot spots and an abundance of sandy beaches make San Salvador a true paradise for the most experienced sport fishers.
