👍👍 Snorkeling the reef is all we did here on a few hour trip from West End. It was great. Pretty much did the whole reef in the main part of the bay down and back to the water taxi's. We came a few days earlier to check the area out so that is what my pictures are. People often mention beach, water, reef,

    Nicest beach in honduras. Not the biggest, but the best quality. Since it is protected by the coral reef waves are minimal. Also, not too deep. You can spot local fishes swiming around. And, if you go to the far end, near the rocks, you can actually find schools of fishes, not too far away, and swim with them. Beach is kept clean, daily. Lots of nice restaurants and hotels on the shore line. As in every touristic destination you will get harrassed by local tour guides and vendors.

    The beach is Nice and clean in a safe area with armed security guards, but kinda tight and crowded, many hotels and beach bars, ofcourse a lot of tourist, but too many local vendors, they insist and even nagg to sell their goods

    Nice Beach but there's lots of trash on it unfortunately. Also too many vendors there selling things. You may also kind of feel scammed when you get there. First they tell you it's only $10 per person taxi ride. Then they tell you there's an additional $3 entry fee. Then they make you pay another $20 to go to the beach club to use their chairs and tell you that supposedly there's no entry area for this Beach that's free. The colors of the water was nice though!

    Beautiful beach! Crystal clear water. They have an area for people that are not staying in the hotels.

    Hard to dispute that this is a beautiful beach. Nice sand and shallow calm water. HOWEVER, there are lots of people walking the beach trying to sell you things, and the beach is not very deep from water to beach chairs. That spot in between is free for people to use, but hard to find especially since it is a busy beach. Access is also a little confusing but the road beside Bananarama is good and on the north end there is a parking at the end of Foster's Rd. At least it's easy to find a place to eat and get a drink.

    We stayed at Infinity Bay Spa and Beach Resort. My gosh the coral reef starts about 75' off shore and you just need your own snorkel gear. No excursion needed, just tour the reef for yourself!

    So clear and clean. The clearest water I’ve ever seen. Just a little farther out is the most amazing reefs to snorkel in.

    Fun place to put your toes in the sand and snorkeling

    Absolutely horrified at how locals treat stray dogs. If you want to find out what the locals are doing to dogs so that they don't "bother" tourists, just do a Google search. I was shocked to see this. Not recommended.

    This beach it's cleaner and safer than West end.

  • 5/5 Paul S. 1 year ago on Google
    Very pretty beach with free access! So don’t let your tour guide make you pay unless you want a pool or chairs then you will have to pay. But the guides will try to take you places that they get a hit off the money you spend.

    Most beautiful beach in Roatán, its a shame is no longer public place.
