Tela Beach

Tela is bordered by vast beaches on the northern Caribbean coast. Palm trees sway in the breeze above white sand beaches, and turquoise water extends into the trees at high tide, with temperatures in the 80s all year. Hondurans go to Tela during Semana Santa, or Holy Week.

Tela Beach is a top beach destination all over the world because of its wonderful marriage of jungle and water. Tela is a tropical paradise with a long stretch of white sand beach, turquoise waves, and stunning rock formations that will take your breath away.

If the beach becomes too much for you, visit one of the local natural reserves, such as Punta Sal, which is home to monkeys and mangrove plants. Because of all the hidden riches waiting to be discovered, the jungle provides a dimension of experience you'll never forget. Tela's reputation hasn't always been positive, but tourist police are working to change that.
