Samana Cay

Samana Cay is a low island in the southeastern Bahamas, north of Acklins and surrounded by reefs and shallow water. Its name is thought to be of Lucayan origin, and traces of Lucayan settlement have been found on the island. Samana has been proposed as one possible site of Guanahani, the island where Columbus first came ashore in 1492, though other islands have also been identified with that landfall.
