Sandy Bay

Sandy Bay is a coastal town on Roatán, a Honduran island in the Caribbean Sea. It serves as a gateway for divers visiting the island's reef systems and wall dives, with a couple of dive centers offering basic courses, equipment rental, and local boat trips. Roatán’s dive scene generally centers on shallow, clear Caribbean reefs with abundant fish, coral formations, and occasional turtles. While the town itself is not a major dive hub, its proximity to well-known sites makes it a practical base for divers exploring the Roatán/Bay Islands area.
