Caribbean Honduras

By Linda Tancs

It’s getting harder to enjoy the quiet life in the bustling Caribbean, but there’s still hope at Roatán, the largest of Honduras’ Bay Islands.  West Bay Beach hosts a coral reef that meets the shore at the south end, allowing you to commune peacefully with a variety of colorful fish, sponges and sea fans.  The cruise ships generally meet up at a southern point referred to as “Tabayana Beach.”  Even so, the area is remarkably quiet–particularly, though, at the northern end.  There you can enjoy the fine, silky, palm-lined sand and its accompanying turquoise-blue water.  Either way, it’s a win-win.
