Why this guide exists
The one thing most guides get wrong: your ship's actual dock
Roatán has two very different cruise docks. Many Carnival Corp ships use the private Mahogany Bay pier, while other lines dock at the Coxen Hole town pier, and the two lead to very different transportation times, costs, and starting points for a day at West Bay Beach or Little French Key.
The Smarty Ports Roatán guide starts by confirming which pier your ship uses, then builds a self-guided plan from there, comparing West Bay Beach, Little French Key, and the island's best reef snorkeling. For current, specific pricing and booking links, the guide links you straight to the vetted recommendations on smartyports.com.
