Utila

The three-mile by seven-mile island of Utila of the Bay Islands of Honduras is set between a fringing coral reef and a 2,000-foot-deep continental shelf-- making it a little hidden jewel of an island Mecca for divers of all ages. Utila is also famous for its many whale shark encounters, rays, wrecks and dolphins. Pristine snorkeling, fishing for tarpon and bonefish and horseback riding are among other family-friendly offerings. Kids Sea Camp is now hosting events at Utila at the Laguna Beach Resort. Tucked away and unassuming, it's truly a perfect destination for families.
