Salvador Water or Port Salvador (French: Baye Marville,[1] Spanish: Bahia de la Maravilla[2]) is a bay/inlet on the northeast coast of East Falkland, the largest of the Falkland Islands. It has an intricate shoreline, but could be described as being shaped like an "M".
Settlements on its shoreline include Teal Inlet, Douglas, Salvador and Rincon Grande. Port Louis, the oldest and one time main settlement on the islands is also nearby, on the other side of a narrow isthmus, which backs onto Berkeley Sound.
