Columbus Monument
Memorials / Monuments, San Salvador
Fodor's Review:
No road leads to the Columbus Monument on Crab Cay; you have to make your way along a bushy path. This initial tribute to the explorer was erected by the Chicago Herald newspaper in 1892, far from the presumed site of Columbus's landing. A series of little villages -- Polly Hill, Hard Bargain, Fortune Hill, Holiday Track -- winds south of here for several miles along Storr's Lake. You can still see the ruins of several plantations, and the deserted white-sand beaches on this eastern shore are some of the most spectacular in the islands. A little farther along is Pigeon Creek, which is a prime spot for bonefishing.
