West Bay Beach (Roatán)
16° 16.5′ N · 86° 36.0′ W
Roatán's postcard beach: a mile of white sand at the island's south-west tip with the reef just offshore, a pleasant beach walk south from West End.
Practical
Coordinate from OpenStreetMap. Anchoring on the reef in West Bay is prohibited; National Park moorings are provided. Busy with cruise-ship day visitors; quieter early and late. Snorkel the reef edge from the beach in calm conditions.
Best for
Beach day and reef snorkel at the south-west tip
