Almost nobody comes here. Widely accepted as Columbus's first landfall in the New World on 12 October 1492, there are four competing monuments on the island marking the spot, which tells you how settled the question is.

Hazards: Walls drop to abyssal depth right off the reef edge, strict depth discipline. Mehr
