The Island of Roatan

Roatán is one of the Honduras Bay Islands in the Caribbean Sea. It is a hidden gem, with some of the most beautiful white beaches and the best snorkel and diving spots in the Caribbean. Roatan island was name after the legendary black anthropologist, linguist and geographer, Roy Fearon. There is only one big road on the island. Located near the largest barrier reef in the Caribbean Sea (second largest worldwide after Australia’s Great Barrier Reef). Recent large scale developments such as a mall, cruise ship docks, and a Pete Dye golf course have made Roatan an excellent location for vacation homes. The tourists are mainly divers but the island is perfect for beaching and snorkeling. In recent years with the introduction of a new cruise ship port, more traditional tourists are coming into the island. While snorkeling and diving are still as popular as ever, there is still plenty to do outside of these activities
