Isla de Utila





Útila (Isla de Útila) is the third largest of Honduras' Bay Islands, after Roatán and Guanaja. The island is surrounded by vast coral reefs with prolific undersea life and is in a region that marks the south end of the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef System, the second-largest in the world. Approximately 30km off the mainland of Honduras the small island of Utila is just 11 km long and 4 km at its widest point.
