Our quest for shore snorkeling took us to Roatan, a tiny island off the coast of Honduras. We Stayed at an all inclusive resort called Las Sirenas. We chose this resort because of its proximity to the 'good snorkeling' area off Infinity Bay Resort.
The beach - towards West End village.
The beach in front of Las Sirenas - looking towards West End Point where there was good snorkeling.
