Utila Key - Honduras
Written by Gene Tewksbury   

Utila Keys in HondurasUtila Key is a small (very small) island which sits about two miles off the island of Utila (not so large itself).   The Key is actually two small keys (Jewel Cay and Pigeon Cay) attached to each other by a foot bridge and path which runs down the center of the island from end to end.  The island is only about 1/3 mile long and 50 yards wide (just an estimate from my own memory as information on this relatively unknown destination is hard to come by). The population consists of about 700 locals (mostly fisherman and their families).  There is a church, a school, two small groceries, three sodas and some incredible scuba diving.  No hot water and only limited fresh water as fresh water is obtained via large buckets on the roof of each building which captures the rain.  Be prepared to shower under a thin drizzle of water as quickly as possible.

Utila - Honduras
Written by Gene Tewksbury   

Utila - Bay Island of HondurasUtila is a small island off the Caribbean coast of Honduras.  It is just 11 km long and 4 km at its widest and surrounded by vast coral reefs with prolific undersea life. It is renowned as being one of the least expensive and most beautiful places in the world for a scuba diving vacation.   It is one of three major islands collectively called the Bay Islands. Utila being the smallest and least developed.   While the diving is to die for, there is not a great deal else to do on the island.  Beach goers will find a couple nice beaches to keep them happy but would do better to try Roatan instead (the largest of the three Bay Islands).  Other than that there are the bars, sailboat trips, island hoping picnic tours and jungle hikes.
