Cockburn Town is the capital city of the island of San Salvador. This is where Christoph Columbus landed on the 12yh of October 1492, christening the island known by the natives as 'Lucaya Guanahini' San Salvador, meaning Holy Salvation. Sandy beaches that stretch for miles and magical underwater habitats have seen the number of visitors to San Salvador increase significantly over the last few years. In North Victoria Hill, to the North of the Cockburn Town, the island's history is told through artefacts from the lost Lucay culture at the New World Museum.
