Top 10 Free Things to do in Bay Islands, Bay Islands

March 1, 2022 Toi Mattera

If you’re looking for a budget-friendly island vacation, consider the Bay Islands. Each one appeals to different travelers—Roatan’s the most developed (but still not as built-up as, say, St. Thomas), Guanaia’s rustic and Utila’s in between. All three have great dive spots and beaches.

This shop caught my attention because of its upcycled products - tin roof: magnets; sea glass and shells: bracelets; etc. They have quite a selection of what I would all local crafts. The name of your artist is on what you buy. Oh - and the prices are great!

Vivian was so friendly and kind as she greeted me into the store. She had made a new pair of beaded sandals with a pattern I wanted. It made for a perfect and specialized souvenir. She was also so friendly when I asked her about life on the island and the company’s mission. Thank you!

West Bay Beach

West Bay is what many consider the picture-perfect Caribbean destination: white sand, clear, calm waters and full service resorts. The variety of water activities include scuba diving, fishing charters, snorkeling and parasailing. Scuba diving and other outfitters leave directly from the beach so starting your water-based activities is easy and convenient.

Stone Castle Cameo Factory

Reviewed By alisonS24 - Hendersonville, United States

My bestie took us to the Stone Castle Cameo Factory, she went on and on about the store. I was really impressed. We got there right at closing, they had already put most of the cameos away, they pulled about 12 trays out and I watched the young lady making a dolphin cameo. Quite impressed, I love dolphins and turtles. The best of both worlds, they explained the process of making these beauties. I will definitely say, if you are looking for something unique, this is the place. I am so glad we stopped, I think it was my best shopping experience yet, I cannot wait till we go back. You can see the ship from the shop, it is a hike from the ship, totally worth it. Bring cash, more for the bang of the buck. Love love this place.
