To those of us who love Roatan, it comes at absolutely no surprise that West Bay Beach has – again! – been voted into the Top 20 Beaches in the World. TripAdvisor has posted the results of their annual Travellers’ Choice Awards, in which West Bay Beach was voted the top beach in all of Central America for the second year in a row.
Being voted the best beach in an entire region is no easy feat – especially when that region is filled with so many gorgeous beaches. Central American beaches are both Caribbean and Pacific; they’re for scuba divers and for surfers; some are filled with tourists and others are completely isolated.
The diversity of beaches in Central America is incredible. And yet, here we are winning the top accolade for the second year in a row!
