Rum Cay

Rum Cay is an island and district of the Bahamas. Rum Cay, 20 miles (32 km) southwest of San Salvador Island, is mainly flat with rolling hills that rises to about 120 feet (37 m). Christopher Columbus called it Santa Maria de la Concepción. The island is believed to have acquired its more racy modern name from a shipwrecked cargo of rum. The main settlement is Port Nelson, a picturesque village lying among coconut groves.
