We're going to take you to one of the best beaches in the world, West Bay Beach. The beach is gorgeous and has amazing views all around. West Bay beach is arguably the best beach in Central America, its simply marvelous. Here you'll have access to many activities, attractions, restaurants and much more. Some of the best snorkeling in the world can be experienced a couple of strokes right off West Bay Beach. If you come to Roatan, going to West Bay is a must.
Access to West Bay Beach is free since all beaches in Honduras are public. We normally take our guests to Bananarama where you don't have to pay for a day pass if you use their restaurant. However, keep in mind that you won't have access to beach chairs with this option. If you wish to enter a beach resort or have your own beach chair, you will need to pay for a day pass at one of the resorts. This is paid separately and directly to the resort onsite the day of your tour. Or you can contact us to prepay and discuss options.
