This is a prime snorkeling spot in West Bay with coral and tropical fish visible only steps into the water. The vendors that stroll the beach to sell their wares are often a minus for family vacations, but here, they are part of the fabric of the experience. Buy an ice cream, homemade banana donuts and banana breads, and fold this traditional way to make a living locally into your beach day.

When hungry for something that sounds like more bananas but isn’t, head to Banarama for authentic, cheap Honduran eats. At West Bay Beach, your family will be in for a most memorable beach excursion during your time on Roatan.
