Our rentals are close to many of Roatan’s great tourist attractions, either a few minutes’ walk or a short taxi drive away.
WEST BAY BEACH
One of the most beautiful beaches in the Caribbean! It was ranked #20 among the . Gorgeous, crystal clear, turquoise waters, gentle, calm & sandy bottomed swimming, delicious food and drink at the many beach resorts, and fabulous snorkeling at the furthest west end of the beach. A great place to visit day or night!
DIVING
Roatan’s #1 attraction is its diving. There are dive shops all over the island. But if you’re looking for convenience, personal attention AND 5-star service, Denisse, Alex, and Merry at Clearwater Adventures are 200 yards from the Turtle Beach dock. In addition to diving, you can do tag-along snorkeling, or go on the popular lunch/snorkel trip to a local village with THE BEST key lime pie!
SNORKELING
If you’d rather stay closer to the surface, the snorkeling at Turtle Beach is fun just because of the convenience! There is a lot of marine life around the dock, rocks and coral. You can also rent kayaks in West End or West Bay, head out to the reef, anchor and snorkel. There’s also great snorkeling at West Bay beach, at the western end, in front of Grand Roatan resort. There are markers in the water to guide you where to go. The waters are deeper there, so we recommend snorkeling at both locations.
FISHING
There are a variety of fishing charters all over the island – from fly fishing to sport fishing.
