The most beautiful beach on the island and possibly in Honduras. The kind of postcard you like to send to friends staying in the cold of Paris or elsewhere. Water is turquoise and emerald and white and clean beach, as in your dreams. But this paradise is tarnished by several recently opened tourist infrastructures, while others are under construction. Think that only fifteen years ago there was no one… Yes, as often today, we feel like we get too late! Most of these establishments respect the environment (wood) but the most recent seem less tempted by sustainable development and favour finance to the detriment of the beauty of the site. This poses a serious problem for the coral barrier which is one of the attractions of West Bay (superb snorkeling). Indeed, West Bay was previously a marsh and during heavy rains it "drank" the fangeuse water and acted as a "buffer zone": today the vase remains plated against the reef, corrupting it gradually. Some people say that in ten years there will be no more corals… To reach West Bay from West End, there are aquatic taxis (50 Lps per person) and a pleasant trail (between 40 min and 1 hour walk, ideal for the day but completely discouraged at night). Think there are not many restaurants on the beach: They will probably choose to stay in West End and families or couples in West Bay.
