Rum Cay a small, sparsely populated island is located 20 miles southwest of San Salvador. The terrain is predominantly flat with a few rolling hills that rise only 120 feet. The island was originally named Santa Maria de la Concepcion by Columbus. The modern name, Rum Cay, is said to be in memory of the cargo of a ship that foundered off the coral reefs that surround the island's shore. The main settlement is Port Nelson, a picturesque village nestled among coconut groves.
