Roatan excursions & cruise tours.

Located between the island of Guanaja and the island of Utila is Roatan, the biggest of all the Honduras Bay Islands and known for housing the second-largest coral reef in the entire world. Roatan is a tropical paradise filled with history and incredible wildlife and offers a wide range of exciting excursions and activities for travelers to enjoy. If you're planning a trip to this stunning destination, Shore Excursions Group is your go-to source for discovering more than 50 of the finest excursions and packages available on Roatan Island.

Adrenaline-Packed Adventure

For those looking for a more adrenaline-packed adventure tour, zip-lining through the lush jungles of Roatan is a must. Our Roatan Zip and Splash Beach Break package allows you to soar through the canopy while taking in stunning views of the island's landscape. After the canopy zipline experience, which lasts for 50 to 70 minutes, we'll drive you to the beach, where you can splash in the sea at nearby West Bay. If you're not a fan of heights, there are plenty of other options, such as kayaking, paddle boarding, scuba diving or snorkeling the Blue Channel, and exploring the island's rugged terrain on horseback.

Experience Roatan Culture

If you're interested in learning more about Honduran culture and the history of Roatan, Shore Excursions Group has a variety of options to choose from. You can visit local towns and markets to shop for souvenirs or sample local cuisine or take a tour of the island's key historical landmarks and museums. For chocolate lovers, a visit to Roatan’s very own chocolate factory is a must.

The Roatan Island Tour is very popular among cruise ship enthusiasts. This Roatan excursion takes you on a journey through the island's history and culture, visiting the East and West Ends of Roatan. You'll learn about the island's past and see its beautiful views. You'll visit the tourist side of the island, with time to explore and purchase a drink. The excursion ends with a photo stop at a lookout point before returning to the pier in Coxen Hole.

Sensational Water Sports

One of the top excursions that Shore Excursions Group offers is a snorkeling adventure at the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef. This is the second-largest reef system in the world and is home to a plethora of marine life. Snorkeling at the reef allows you to witness the stunning underwater world and swim with tropical fish, rays, and even sea turtles. Try our popular Animals and Snorkel combo excursion and experience the aquatic wonders of Roatan.

Relaxing Island Escapes

Our Eco Walk and Beach Break excursion provides many Instagram-worthy opportunities. It includes a relaxing walk through the island's lush jungle, featuring suspension bridges with amazing views, tropical flowers, and wildlife. Catch a glimpse of the endangered yellow-naped parrot, freel-flying scarlet macaws, or adorable spider monkeys and three-toed sloths. The tour lasts about 40 minutes and covers approximately one mile. Then, you will drive to the popular West Bay beach to swim, rent snorkel gear, or spend your beach day relaxing under a palm tree. The excursion offers round-trip transportation with a drive from the cruise pier to the destination and a drive back after the excursion ends.

For those seeking a little R&R, the spa experiences in the jungle are sure to put your mind and body at ease. Our Roatan Resort and Spa package offers a custom 60-minute massage from a spa therapist that includes: a light body brush, oils to exfoliate your skin, botanical body masque, and of course, a full-body massage. Travel to the resort and access to its complimentary amenities are included. There is no shortage of ways to relax on this dreamy Caribbean island.

Roatan Tours Highlights

Curious cruise travelers will delight in the Glass-Bottomed Boat excursions along the coral reef, where you can discover the exquisite marine life that lies beneath the surface. The Mangrove Tour is also perfect for escaping the crowds, traveling to a small, secret canal through a system of mangrove trees on a small boat where you have a chance to discover and meet native people to Roatan still uncontaminated by the modern world today.

In addition to the exciting excursions and packages, Shore Excursions Group provides hassle-free booking and cruise port transportation to and from the excursion sites. Their experienced guides and staff ensure that you have a safe and enjoyable experience, allowing you to focus on making unforgettable memories.

10 Best Roatan Cruise Excursions (Roatan Family Tour Options!)

Do you have a cruise stop in Honduras? Part of the fun of planning a cruise is booking your Honduras shore excursions. I am excited to share with you some of the best Roatan cruise excursions available!  

We recently went on Royal Carribeans Allure of the Seas and enjoyed a stop in Roatan Honduras.  We were really excited to pick a few of the best shore excursions in Roatan Honduras.  

We had a group of 22 so we decided to divide and conquer and try out a few of the cruise excursions Roatan had to offer. 

We did a lot of research before our cruise, and what we found was in Honduras it was significantly cheaper to book with Viator compared to what the cruise line offered.

In this post, we are going to list the best excursions in Roatan! These Honduras excursions are fun and all have very high ratings.  Some of the Roatan tours will include beach activities while others are focused on more adventurous excursions in Roatan.

Let’s explore all of the best Roatan cruise excursions available! 

If you want to save this information for later be sure to pin this to Pinterest.

Cruising to Hondarus

Before we jump into all of the fun cruise excursions Roatan has to offer we need to talk about the different Roatan cruise ports in Honduras.

Roatan has two cruise ports.

Mahagony Bay

Mahagony Bay is absolutely amazing! Carnival, Princess, and Holland America are the only cruise lines that have access to this port.  The beaches are superior and it is included in your cruise price.

This might defeat the whole purpose of my post but you really do not need to book a Roatan cruise excursion if you are on those cruise lines, unless you want to do a zip-lining tour or something in the jungle. (Roatan has some of the best ziplining in the Caribbean!)

Towne Center at Port of Roatan

All other cruise lines come into Town Center Port (Coxen Hole). You will want to book a Roatan excursion.  There isn’t too much to do at the port itself.  

Because we were on Royal Caribbean, we entered this port and made sure to book a Roatan excursion. 

There are lots of fun things to do in Roatan and we are going to list out our top choices for fun Roatan Cruise excursions! Let’s Go! 

1. Honduras Zip Lining Tour

The number one Roatan shore excursion is ziplining! Wow, zipling in Honduras is fun! There are a lot of Honduras tour companies to choose from.  We went with Anderson Company and had a fabulous time.  

 What Does this Roatan Excursion Include?

• Tour Company is a Short Walk Cruise from Port
• Beach Pass (Beach Chairs and Changing Room)
• Transportation with a Bilingual Driver
• Zip Line Equipment

Rating : 4.5 out of 5 Tour Length: 5 hours 30 minutes

Why choose this tour?   Because is it so much cheaper than booking through the cruise line plus this tour includes 3 activities:  Ziplining, monkey and sloth sanctuary, and a stop at the beach. 

Everything is included, and there are no hidden fees! It also has Free Cancellation !  

We did a ton of research and because we had a group of 22 we wanted to make sure we were getting the best price! This is the best price! 

 Our Review

We were really nervous that our 8-year-old old who is a little scared of heights would not enjoy this, but man were we wrong.  He loved it. The guide made everyone feel comfortable and even got us doing flips! It was awesome! We had so much fun zipling in Honduras!  I highly recommend booking a Zipline tour with the Anderson Company! 

2. Roatan Snorkeling Excursions

Honduras has the best snorkeling I have ever experienced!  Before I went on our cruise I had several people tell me that they loved snorkeling in Honduras even more than Hawaii! 

Seriously, I didn’t believe them at first but now I have to say that I agree! If you have read my blog, you know how much I love Hawaii! 

The snorkeling in Honduras is unbelievable! I would 100% choose a Honduras snorkeling excursion unless I had little kids with me or those who are not strong swimmers.   This might be one of the best Roatan cruise excursions available! 

What Types of Roatan Snorkeling Excursion Tours are Available?

I am going to list out a few options, please note that all of these tours are highly rated and each offers a different experience.

• Roatan 3 Stop Snorkeling Adventure (5 out of 5 Stars)
• Kayak Harbor Adventure and Reef Snorkel (5 out of 5 Stars)
• Catamaran Tiki Snorkel (5 out of 5 Stars)
• Private Yacht Snorkeling Adventure (5 out of 5 Stars)

Rating: All of these tours are 5-star! Tour Length :  All tours are around 3 hours.

Why choose these tours?   Like I said before, the snorkeling is amazing in Honduras.  All of these give you an option of transportation whether by car, kayak, or boat. 

Some of these tours include beverages and snacks or even lunch.  You will have to determine what sounds the best to you and then see what is included in each individual Roatan snorkeling excursion. 

Our Roatan Excursion Review

Hands down the Roatan snorkeling excursion is worth it. I like that there were a few options with a price range that will fit every budget, especially if you are traveling in a large group.   

I have never seen coral as big as in Honduras. It actually is a part of the second-largest barrier reef in the World. There is so much, which makes it an awesome habitat for colorful fish. I highly recommend a Roatan Cruise excursion snorkeling

3. Private Island Tours

There are private islands or keys all around the main island of Roatan.  Some cruise lines actually have private islands that you can enjoy and book directly through the cruise line.  This is a more expensive option for a Honduras shore excursion. 

Through Royal Caribbean, we booked Maya Key which is a private island key Roatan cruise excursion. On other cruise lines, you can book Little French Key.  Little French Key was hands down my father-in-law’s favorite Roatan cruise excursion ever! 

But you can save money and book a private island tour through Viator on Private Fantasy Island Beach.  

All of these are great options.  Do a little price comparison and see what works for you. 

Rating : 5 out of 5 stars  Tour Length:  5 hours

Why choose this tour? If you just want to relax Maya Key, Little French Key, or Fantasy Island Beach are the perfect place.  They offer an all-inclusive island experience that includes lunch. The beach is nice and it is a great place to swim and snorkel. 

Our Roatan Cruise Excursion Review

We loved going to Maya Key,  The snorkeling was out of this world.  You could bring your own gear but you did have to purchase a life vest to participate.  

We walked all around Maya Key.  There is an animal sanctuary, a pool, a nice beach, ancient ruins, and a gift shop on the key.  It is a great place to relax and enjoy Honduras.

4. Monkey and Sloth Tours

Almost all the Honduras cruise shore excursions offer an animal experience.

There are monkeys, sloths, and lots of other exotic animals all over the island of Roatan. Everyone in our group of 22 had an opportunity for an animal encounter. 

I enjoyed seeing all the animals but this is more of an “add-on to another tour” option however, you can book an animal encounter singular.

Rating: 5 Stars  Tour Length: 2.5 to 6 depending on your tour.

Why choose these tours?  If you are an animal lover and want to see some exotic animals this is for you.  There are animal encounters included with almost all Roatan cruise excursions. 

What Types of Animal Encounters Roatan Cruise Excursions Are Available?

• Daniel Johnson Monkey and Sloth Sanctuary
• Roatan Cruise Excursion Monkeys, Sloth and Snorkel Adventure (5 out of 5 Stars)
• Roatan Excursions: Zipline and Monkeys (5 out of 5 Stars)
• Private Island Tour and Monkeys
• Gumbalimba Preservation

I loved walking around and looking at all the animals.  Some animal encounters will let you hold the animals.  I did not want to, I was happy to watch them play in their cages. 

There were lots of other animals besides monkeys at the location we went to.  This is a must-do in Honduras! 

5. Beach Excursion

Some beaches are better than others in Honduras. 

We went to West Bay Taybana Beach.  We knew going into our trip that this beach was going to be very crowded with lots of locals selling products.  It was also dirty!  It isn’t the best beach but it was included on the zip line Roatan cruise excursion we booked.  

If you are going to book one of the Honduras shore excursions to the beach just be aware that West Bay Taybana Beach might not live up to your expectations! 

What do Roatan Beach Excursions Include?

• Transportation
• Beach Chairs 
• Beach Umbrellas

I am going to recommend some of the best Roatan shore excursions for the beach below.  My parents are avid cruisers so they have done pretty much every Honduras excursion.  These are their recommendations.

Rating: 4.5 out of 5 Tour Length: 3 to 8 hours – these Roatan cruise excursions are flexible. You can stay as little of as long as your want.

Why Choose a Roatan beach excursion?  The beach for the most part is a great place to relax and enjoy the beautiful weather and ocean.  If your kids want to build a sand castle or if you want to swim in the ocean a beach day is perfect! 

What Types of Beach Excursions Are Available?

• Beach Day Pass (Choose your Beach)
• Roatan Beach Beach at Infinity Resort

6. ATV Roatan Shore Excursions

How does riding ATVs through the jungle sound?  Pretty cool huh! Honduras may be the most affordable location I have ever seen to do this type of tour.  

A lot of the ATV Honduras tours include not only an ATV ride but also another activity.  One thing I found is that if you book an ATV Honduras Tour you can get access to Mahagony Bay even if you did not arrive on Carnival, Princess, or Holland America. 

What Does an ATV Tour Include?

• Safety Gear

There are a few tours I will recommend.  Most of them will include other Honduras activities as well. 

Rating: 4.5 and 5 out of 5 Tour Length: 1 to 6 hours

Why Choose an ATV Honduras Tour? This is an adventure! Riding ATVs through the jungle is pretty cool.  There are paths all over the island. 

We own a few ATVs so we know how fun they are.  If you have never done anything like it before you are going to love it! 

What Type of ATV Roatan Cruise Excursions are There? 

• ATV, Zip-Line, Sloth, and Beach Tour
• ATV and Beach Time
• ATV and Beach (Cheaper Option)

7. Chocolate and Rum Factory Tour

Chocolate? Rum? Honduras has it all. Actually, you can book a Honduras tour of a few factories.  

My father-in-law jumped on this opportunity and had a fantastic time.  On the West End of the Island of Roatan are two factories to tour. You can also take a chocolate-making class. 

Rating: 5 out of 5 Tour Length: 3-5 hours

Why Choose This Tour?  If you love chocolate or rum this is a great option.  This is a great tour if zip lining is not calling your name and hanging out at the beach is not very high on your list.  Although you will have the option on this Roatan cruise excursion. 

Type of Food Roatan Shore Excursions Are Available? 

• Chocolate Making Class
• Beach, Chocolate and Rum Tour
• West Side Roatan Tour with Chocolate Factory

8. Roatan Horseback Riding Tour

Horseback riding on the beach?  I think YES!   

If you want to have access to Mahagony Bay you can book a horseback ride on the bay.   They will pick you up from the Town Center (Coxen Hole) Port. 

This is the most beautiful part of the island so you are in for a treat! 

Rating: 4.5 -5 out of 5 Tour Length: 1-5 hours depending on the tour.

Why Choose This Tour?   I love horseback riding! The prices in Honduras are a lot lower than in the US for horseback riding.  Riding on the beach sounds magical.  I am sold! Next time this will be on my list! 

Type of Horseback Riding Honduras Tours

• Horseback Ride on Mahogany Bay
• Horseback Ride, Sloth, Beach
• Horseback Ride in Roatan

9. Catamaran or Boat Rides

You can not go wrong with a Catamaran Honduras cruise excursion. Like, I said earlier Honduras is near the second-largest barrier reef in the World making it a perfect place to explore.  

Jumping on a boat and exploring what is under the water is a great idea.  A lot of these Roatan excursions come with food and drinks.  Hanging out on the catamaran is pretty fun! 

Rating: 4.5 and 5 out of 5 Tour Length: 3 hours

Why Choose This Roatan Cruise Excursion? You can not go wrong with this option! Exploring the island from the sea is a great way to relax and enjoy your time in Honduras. 

Best Excursions in Roatan for Catamarans 

• Catamaran Snorkel Adventure
• Catamaran Party Boat
• Catamaran for Cruisers

10. Scuba Roatan Shore Excursions

I know my family was so excited to scuba dive when we booked our cruise.  Royal Caribbean offers PADI certification onboard so when you arrive at the port you can be ready to go scuba dive. 

There are lots of levels and options for Roatan cruise excursions for scuba diving in Honduras.  

What is Included in a Scuba Diving Roatan Cruise Port Excursion?

• Diving Equipment

Rating:  5 out of 5 stars Tour Length: 3-4 hours

Why Choose this Scuba Diving Honduras Tour?   Roatan has the best diving in all of Honduras.  There are shipwrecks, coral gardens, and sand flats, and sharks.  

It is a perfect place to scuba dive and explore the ocean! 

What Scuba Diving Honduras Tours are Available?

• Beginner Scuba Certification and Dive
• Certified Divers Cruise Excursion
• Refresher Scuba Dive Course

For sure! We have a few ATV’s and it is really fun!

I’m the one on vacation who can’t stop going and relax for too long! LOL. I’d be snorkeling, horseback riding, or on an ATV during my Roatan excursion!

Those would all be fantastic choices!

Fabulous guide to the best shore excursions in Roatan, Honduras! Would love the catamaran and the chocolate tour especially.

Looking for recommendations on reliable shore excursions

By abdulazeez77 , July 27, 2023 in Roatan

I will be traveling with wife and two girls 9 and 6 through Royal Caribbean Allure of the Seas towards end of August. On Day 4 we are expected to be in Roatan, Honduras. I am looking for reliable shore excursion options which will guarantee coming back to the ship before departure. Can you please share recommendations and reliable vendors?

Hire a private driver to do the things you want to and get you back to the ship at a time of your choosing.  

There are heaps of tour operations offering private drivers. Jeezy from Roatan Driver is my current favorite but there are plenty of other options you can find via search. 

We loved Roatan Getaway Tours. We booked an excursion with them through Viator in 2021 and enjoyed it so much that we used them again for a private tour in 2022. They were always waiting for us on that weird sidewalk next to the crowded busy road (no good meeting spot in Roatan for non-ship excursions at the Royal port) and their policy is to have you back 2 hours before all aboard time. When we did the private excursion, we ended cutting that back to 1 hour because we wanted to go to the chocolate shop which is fairly close to the port and didn't feel super risky. They are also responsive via email. Here is some of what they offer with a private tour:

Check out Victor Bodden or Roni's Tours.  Both have been in business for many years and have good reviews.  Both are affordable and can offer customized tours.

• 2 weeks later...

I have done Victor bodden 3 times and Cleve's tours.     Bodden is a very professional group and always makes you feel safe and in charge.    Cleve is also awesome.   We toured with him one day while we were staying in West Bay and his wife drove us back to the airport a few days later.  One of the best days we have ever had there was the drive to east end of the island with Cleve.

Whenever we go to Roatan we use Roatan Ocean Adventures. They are awesome! Last time there we did DJ's Monkey and Sloths, snorkeling and then a beach break. We had a great time! Here is our vlog from that day. If you go to our channel I did an interview with Herbert the owner of ROA.

Best Shore Excursions in Roatan

**CLICK HERE TO BOOK LOCAL TOURS – Roatan Shore Excursions with the Roatan Collection!**

Western Caribbean cruises on multiple cruise lines stop in Roatan, Honduras. There are two ports in Roatan, one owned by Carnival Corporation and the other partly owned by Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd.

If you’re visiting on any Carnival Corporation line (including Carnival, Princess, Oceania, Costa, P&O, Thomson, Holland America, or Regent Seven Seas), you will arrive in Isla Roatan at Mahogany Bay. This port is located on Roatan’s south shore, about 30 minutes from the main tourist areas of West Bay and West End.

If you’re coming to Roatan on Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines, Norwegian Cruise Lines, or Celebrity Cruises, you will dock at the Port of Roatan in the capital of Coxen Hole, only about 15 minutes from West End or West Bay.

Whichever port your ship enters, you will have incredibly easy access to a variety of shore excursions. Here are our recommendations for the best shore excursions in Roatan that you just can’t miss…

Jolly Roger Catamaran Sailing and Snorkeling with Lunch

This tour is ideal if you want everything taken care of in advance for you. The Jolly Roger crew always goes above and beyond to take care of their guests, ensuring that everyone has a great time on board the catamaran and out in the water. If the winds are right, you can enjoy sailing back to port as you enjoy a delicious homemade local lunch and bottomless rum punch. Dancing is always encouraged for more afternoon fun!

Blue Harbor Tropical Arboretum

If you’re not a beach person, head to Blue Harbor Tropical Arboretum for a fun-filled day of exploring in the jungle and enjoying the local flora and fauna. Located only about 10 minutes from either port, Blue Harbor contains more than 160 acres of orchards and gardens, plus trails for hiking and to take in the stunning views from the hillside. A great option for the family, as the grounds are perfect for a picnic and for safe, easy exploration for young kids.

Extreme Roatan

Ready for a challenge? When you arrive in Isla Roatan, grab your family and friends for an exciting day of racing through the jungle, over obstacles, and up and down the hills of this gorgeous tropical island. Extreme Roatan is easy enough for families, but also offers a challenge if you want to race for victory. The course runs 2.5km along maintained paths, granting beautiful scenery and a fun day of muddy adventure. Pack extra clothes to change into after your race! A restaurant on-site is perfect for lunch before you head back to port.

Beacher’s Bar & Grill

Head to Beacher’s Bar & Grill on West Bay Beach for a day of fun in the sun. Snag a lounge chair on the beach – with or without a shade umbrella – and enjoy oceanfront bar and restaurant service. You can wade out into the tranquil Caribbean water or opt for a snorkeling jaunt nearby.

Looking for more?

There are countless opportunities to arrange an island tour with one of many operators in Roatan. If you want to book your island tour in advance, there are a few you will find online that offer a multitude of itinerary options. Alternatively, you might choose to wait until you arrive to decide the type of island tour you want to do. Both ports offer taxi associations and private tour companies available for booking at the ports.

Another option to consider is the plethora of zipline canopy tours in Roatan. The island’s topography is perfect for this exhilarating activity, with lush rolling hills along the center of the island leading straight down to beaches along the shore. Again, there are plenty of options to book online in advance, or you can wait until you arrive and head to one of the many available at the ports.

10 Gorgeous Roatan, Honduras Beaches Perfect for Your Next Vacation!

Posted: June 27, 2024 | Last updated: June 27, 2024

Roatan, Honduras, is famous for its stunning beaches. Whether you want to relax by one of the most well-known beaches, like West Bay Beach, or uncover one of the hidden gems, each one is like a tropical paradise with its soft, white sands and crystal clear blue waters. 

But it’s not just about chilling out on the beach; thanks to the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef, the snorkeling and diving experiences are out of this world.

As someone who has traveled to many beaches and is an avid diver, I can vouch for the underwater scenery. The coral reefs and abundance of marine life make it special. 

So, whether you’re up for a relaxing day on the shore or some thrilling underwater adventures, Roatan’s beaches have all the ingredients for an unforgettable getaway!

1. West Bay Beach

West Bay Beach in Roatan is the go-to spot. It is known as the longest beach on the island and is full of awesome restaurants, bars, dive shops, and tons of water sports.

It’s the ultimate place on the island for a good time and has many things to explore and enjoy. If you’re looking for a lively vibe and a bunch of activities, West Bay Beach is the place to hit up.

2. Tabyana Beach

Tabyana Beach is another one of the best beaches on Roatan Island. This beach is known for its close proximity to the reef and clear waters, making it a convenient choice for snorkeling.

It’s also known for its beautiful sand, turquoise water, and abundant coconut trees. If you are looking for a picturesque option with plenty of things to do, Tabyana Beach is a fantastic choice.

3. Mahogany Beach

Mahogany Bay Beach is a manmade beach used by Carnival Cruise Lines passengers. It’s known for having 20 acres for visitors to enjoy and explore.

The beach is famous for its beautiful waters, plenty of lounge chairs, abundant food choices, and countless water activities, making it the perfect stop on a cruise itinerary.

4. Camp Bay Public Beach

Camp Bay Beach is a secluded beach on the island and is located on the northeastern coast of Roatan. This spot is excellent for fewer crowds, lush vegetation, and some of the best snorkeling.

5. Paya Bay Beach

Paya Bay Beach in Roatan is one of those hidden gems on the island and is part of Paya Bay Resort. The resort is a cozy hotel with cool rooms and amazing views of Honduras’s coast. The beach is tucked away, surrounded by lush greenery, and it’s famous for its calm waters and stunning views. 

If you’re thinking of staying at Paya Bay Resort during your Roatan trip, this beach is a total plus, offering a peaceful vibe and some seriously beautiful scenery. 

However, if you’re interested in experiencing the beach and resort facilities without booking a room, you can opt for a day pass. It’s the perfect opportunity to enjoy all the fantastic amenities available. 

6. Marbella Beach

Marbella Beach is situated on the north shore near Palmetto Bay. It is off the main road and away from many tourist spots, which makes it a great option for a bit more seclusion and fewer crowds.

7. Half Moon Bay

Half Moon Bay is a popular spot for scuba diving, world-class snorkeling, paddle boarding, and other water sports. It’s the perfect place to go for plenty of things to do on the water, and there are many different restaurants and bars nearby.

8. Little French Key

Little French Key is a private island in Roatan, celebrated for its many incredible things to see and do. The island offers scuba diving, horseback riding, an exclusive private beach, and a compact zoo featuring monkeys, parrots, and other animals.

9. Starfish Alley

Starfish Alley isn’t exactly a traditional beach. Instead, it’s a section of the sea renowned for its abundance of starfish. Positioned between West Bay and West End, this area features water that’s just three feet deep, creating an incredible space to observe marine life and countless starfish.

10. Sandy Bay Beach

Sandy Bay Beach presents an excellent alternative if you are seeking a more secluded atmosphere.

Recognized for its lush greenery surrounding the white sand shoreline, Sandy Bay Beach stands apart from the busy scene with fewer hotels, condos, and shops, allowing visitors to enjoy uninterrupted, incredible views.

Opting for Sandy Bay Beach ensures a more private and laid-back experience.
