Top choice in Utila
Hop on the free shuttle (every half-hour) near the Coral View Dive Center to get to this day trip–worthy bar-restaurant on a gorgeous white sand beach. The best snorkeling on mainland Utila is right off the dock. Fill your belly with good burgers, tacos, salads and vegetarian options plus an excellent fresh raw tuna and avocado poke tower appetizer.
There's live music occasionally although the afternoon sandflies can be vicious. Bring bug spray.
