What it's like
Little French Key is a private resort on an island just off the coast of Roatán. It has its own beaches and bars, and it sits in the same warm Caribbean water that surrounds the island.
A visit is built around the water. You can snorkel, kayak and paddleboard here, then return to the beachfront bars and restaurants between swims. Roatán lies near the second largest reef in the world, which is why the sea around the island is a good draw for anyone who likes to be in the water.
Good to know
- Bring long pants and long-sleeve shirts, and reapply high-strength bug spray when you leave the water, since mosquitoes are most active at dawn and dusk.
- Sand fleas gather along coastal areas, and their bites can itch for days or weeks, though you may not feel them for several hours.
