Roatan? Where Exactly Is That?

Roatan is in the Caribbean Sea off the North Coast of Honduras which is in Central America like Belize or Costa Rica.  It is less visited than most islands although it is quickly being discovered because cruise ships have begun including Honduras in their itineraries for the Western Caribbean 7 day cruises. Roatan lies 30 miles off the Honduran coast and is home to the second largest coral reef.  Snorkeling or Scuba diving are a big draw for visitors here.  They also come to observe the huge whale sharks that live in the area.  I can't wait to take some underwater pictures.  We purchased a waterproof case for our digital camera that is good to 32 feet....however...I'm not good to more than 10 feet!!.

  1. I'm looking forward to your pictures. When are you leaving for Roatan? We came back from New Smyrna Beach this week. The ocean was awesome to look at but too wild to swim in because of the hurricane.
