The coastline of Utila extends for 11 kilometers, featuring white sand beaches bordered by mangroves and sections of the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef.
The island's maritime history includes multiple European settlements during the 1800s, when British colonists established farming and fishing communities on its shores.
