Roatan Beaches
Have you been in Roatan before? did you know? that one of the major tourist attractions in roatan are its beautiful beaches.Imagine being able to enjoy a full week at the lovely beaches of Roatan certainly be an experience you will never forget.
The beaches on Roatan are quite different depending upon your location on Roatan. All beaches on Roatan are supposed to be open to the public but some resorts «think» they own the beach and can make you feel unwelcome by charging $10 to 15/person to enter their property.
The West Bay resorts are the worst for charging even to use their restaurants! West End however is wide open and there are no entry fees on the beach. If you really want to get to West Bay, either pay the fee or take the water taxi for a few dollars from West End and arrive at the public beach in front of the West Bay resorts.
Here’s a hint to enjoy West Bay and avoid the entry fee charges. Go to the San Simon Beach Club which is the same area as the cruiseship tours in West Bay. They have an excellent restaurant and you can catch water taxis, the para sailing tour, or just go snorkeling. They also have a beach right next to the cruiseship beaches.
Thesouthern shore of Roatan, as a generalization, can be characterized as a volcanic rocky shore with limited water access. There are a few sandy beaches at some of the «private» resorts (you have to pay to get in …. you have to cross a small bridge with a guard) along the southern shore. The western and northern shores of Roatan have mostly sandy beaches and a few mangrove and volcanic areas.
From a tourist perspective, most tourists head to Half Moon Bay, West Bay, West End and the many less crowded beaches along the northern shore line. Tabyana Beach Resort and the Henry Morgan Resort in West Bay are considered the «hot spots» for cruise ship passengers. Half Moon Bay is the second hot spot for the cruise ship passengers. The beaches in the West Bay area offer beautiful sand and good snorkeling but tend to be very crowded on cruise ship days. The first two beaches below are near the Henry Morgan Resort area in West End.
