Sandy Bay

Few communities in the Bay Islands have a history as closely tied to the archipelago’s English-speaking island culture as Sandy Bay. On Roatán’s northwestern shore, the settlement faces the Caribbean Sea, with the island’s fringing coral reef close offshore. This is a quieter, residential part of an island whose coast is central to Honduras’s Bay Islands department. English remains widely heard alongside Spanish, reflecting the distinct Caribbean identity of the islands. Sandy Bay is also home to the Roatán Institute for Marine Sciences, known for marine education and research.
