HENRY MORGAN BEACH RESORT ~ ROATAN, HONDURAS

There’s no arguing that the beach here is beautiful. We didn’t book an excursion through the cruise line, but instead hired a driver/guide outside the Carnival cruise port. We asked to visit a nice beach, and they took us to the Henry Morgan Resort. Admission was $10, which included access to clean restrooms and a beach chair.

We were only there for about three hours, so I can’t personally speak to the food or lodging, but you’ll find plenty of information on TripAdvisor. Overall, most of the negative reviews of this resort relate to the food. The beach itself is public, so you’re likely to find a great place to eat nearby.

The beach can get crowded with people trying to sell hats, sunglasses, and jewelry. You’ll also find plenty of vendors offering hair braiding or massages. If you’re looking for activities, there are vendors nearby offering parasailing and snorkeling.

While we were sitting on the beach, a dark cloud appeared against the robin’s-egg-blue sky, giving me the chance to photograph this funnel. I was hoping it would reach the water, but it only revealed a glimpse of the tail before slowly drifting back into the cloud.

If you’ve never been to Honduras, you might not realize that the roads are filled with potholes, and drivers constantly swerve to avoid them. If you get motion sick easily, I recommend arranging to sit in the front next to the driver.
