When Christopher Columbus happened upon the Island of San Salvador, one of 700 islands that litter the 100,000-square-mile archipelago that comprises the Bahamas, he called the area "baja mar," or The Islands of the Shallow Sea. The tropical paradise he “discovered” is a playground of incredible diversity. It's a great vacation spot for water sports and weddings, sailing and swimming, fishing and frolicking at the beach.
