Saona Island or Isla
Saona
The
Saona is a tropical island located a short distance from
the mainland on the south-east tip of the Dominican
Republic, near La Romana Province. It is a government
protected nature reserve and a popular destination for
tourists from all over the Dominican Republic, thousands of
people arrive in fleets of catamarans and small motorboats
every day. The Island is famous for the natural beauty of
its beaches, and has been used on many occasions by
film-makers and advertisers looking for a stereotypical
'desert island' setting for their film or product. It is
promoted amongst European visitors as the setting for the
famous Bounty chocolate bar adverts.
The seas around the Island are rich in wildlife, with many
species of birds and tropical marine fish, and there are
large areas where natural sandbars offshore bring the depth
to just a few feet. These are once again popular with the
tourist trade, with small boats stopping hundreds of meters
off the beach and disgorging tourists into the waist-deep
shallows where they snorkel, drink and check out the fields
of starfish indigenous to the region.
History of
Saona Island
The Island Saona was baptized "Saona" by Christopher
Columbus, who discovered it in may 1494 on his way
to the Americas. The name was meant to honor the
commune of Savona, where Columbus lived at the time.
Columbus named Michele da Cuneo, his friend and a
savonese himself, first governor of the island.
Saona Island and the modern city Savona, in Italy,
still have twinning relationships; the small
power plant in Saona Island is a gift of Savona.
