West Bay is the island's crown jewel, known for its powdery white sand and vibrant coral reefs, perfect for snorkeling and diving. Just a short taxi ride away, West End offers a more laid-back vibe with bohemian shops, cafes, and a lively bar scene.
Diving Adventures with West Bay Divers
Roatán boasts some of the clearest and warmest waters in the Caribbean, averaging 83°F in May. It’s renowned as one of the top scuba diving destinations in the world, thanks to the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef that surrounds the island.
