If you get goosebumps when you step foot on Guanahani Beach, it could be because of the gentle surf lapping against the sand or your excitement over finding a sea fan washed ashore. Or maybe it is because when Christopher Columbus discovered the New World on October 12, 1492, he called the island Guanahani. Local experts believe he set foot on this beach and was greeted by Lucayan Indians. Other islands also claim this historical distinction.
