Southwest Bay

Corn Islands


The most popular beach on Great Corn, Southwest Bay has calmer, more sheltered water than at most other beaches on the island, though the area is more developed, with several hotels, guesthouses and restaurants lining the roadside behind it. It's a good spot to watch the sunset too.
