ashore: check the port","[Roat\u00e1n](https://www.cruisemapper.com/ports/roatan-island-port-29) has two distinct cruise destinations on its south coast. The Port of Roat\u00e1n is at Coxen Hole. Carnival\u2019s destination at Dixon Cove, formerly Mahogany Bay, is now called Isla Tropicale. The new name does not mean a different island. Confirm which port appears on your ship\u2019s papers before booking a pickup; both names may still appear in excursion instructions and older maps."],["A simple beach day","At [Isla Tropicale](https://www.carnival-news.com/2026/05/21/carnival-cruise-line-unveils-new-pool-area-and-brand-identity-for-roatan-destination-isla-tropicale), a beach, shops, restaurants and a scenic chairlift make staying within the port destination an easy option. Carnival opened the Mangrove Bay pool area in May 2026. Check the current facilities map and which loungers, cabanas, pool areas or chairlift rides carry a charge. Do not assume an old all-inclusive price covers every new facility. Passengers at Coxen Hole should not assume access to this separate cruise complex."],["West Bay or West End?","West Bay is the better-known sandy beach area, popular for swimming and snorkelling. West End is a village with restaurants, dive shops and waterfront businesses. They are different places, so tell your driver which one you want. Both need a road transfer from the cruise ports. For a relaxed day, choose one as your main destination and arrange the return before settling in. Traffic and the port\u2019s approach road can make the return slower than the outward journey."],["Snorkelling and reef care","Choose an operator who explains the entry point, sea conditions, equipment and how the group will be supervised. Shore access does not make every section of reef suitable for a beginner. Tell the guide if you cannot swim confidently, ask about flotation equipment and stay clear of boat lanes. Follow the [Roat\u00e1n Marine Park\u2019s guidance](https://www.roatanmarinepark.org/resources): avoid touching or standing on coral and do not collect marine life. A guided outing is usually a more useful first introduction than simply hiring a mask and swimming towards the boats."],["Taxis, tours and costs","Agree the total fare before boarding. Ask whether the quote is per person or vehicle, one-way or return, in US dollars or lempiras, and whether waiting or extra stops are included. A beach-club day pass may add a separate charge for a lounger, food or equipment. Independent tour pickups may be outside a controlled port area: get the exact meeting point and walking instructions before paying. Use the ship\u2019s transfer or an arranged accessible vehicle if that walk is unsuitable."],["Food, shops and an alternative outing","A baleada, a filled flour tortilla commonly served with beans and other fillings, makes a simple Honduran snack. Fish and seafood are common around the beach areas; check the menu price and whether tax or service is additional. US dollars are widely accepted in tourist businesses, but ask about change and exchange rates. Carry some small notes. If you prefer an island tour to swimming, choose a few scenic and cultural stops with a clear return time rather than a long list of rushed attractions."],["Returning comfortably","Take water, sun protection and insect repellent, and keep valuables dry and close. Save your driver\u2019s contact and correct port name offline. Weather can affect beach activities and docking, so check cancellation terms before booking independently. Return for the ship\u2019s all-aboard time, allowing for traffic, security and the walk to the gangway. Do not rely on a last-minute ride app pickup."]],"maps":[{"label":"Coxen Hole cruise port","url":"https://www.google.com/maps/search/?api=1&query=Port+of+Roatan+Coxen+Hole","detail":"Check your ship\u2019s port before saving this pickup"},{"label":"Isla Tropicale, formerly Mahogany Bay","url":"https://www.google.com/maps/search/?api=1&query=Isla+Tropicale+Mahogany+Bay+Roatan","detail":"Dixon Cove cruise destination; separate from Coxen Hole"}],"facts":[["Getting ashore","Coxen Hole or Isla Tropicale"],["Former name","Isla Tropicale was Mahogany Bay"],["Beach choice","West Bay; road transfer required"],["Currency","Honduran lempira \u00b7 HNL"]],"access":"Confirm the actual gangway and route to pickup with your ship.
