There are beach chairs available all along the beach, for various prices and situations. 1. All of the beach front hotels and restaurants have beach chairs included in your accommodations when you're staying there. 2. If you are on a cruise ship and coming for the day, in Feb 2023 you could expect to pay $15 US for most of the restaurants and hotels ($20 at Infinity Bay) which gives you a wristband that entitles you to a chair and umbrella and the security that you can safely leave your belongings at your chair while you go snorkeling or exploring. (you can also get a wifi code for 2+ hours, duration depending on the place, with the purchase of the wrist band). 3. If you are staying in accommodations that are not on the beach but want to enjoy the beachfront with chairs, expect to pay $10-$15 US per day for the same beach front chairs on cruise days. 4. If you are staying in accommodations that are not on the beach, but want to enjoy the beachfront in a chair on days where it is not busy or there are no cruises at port, some places will let you use their chairs for no charge if you eat and drink at their establishment. 5. If you don't want to rent a chair, or if you plan to spend most of your time in the water, snorkeling, scuba diving, walking around or eating/drinking in beachfront restaurants or you're totally comfortable all day on the sand on a towel, then yes, you could also sit on towels that you bring. (Although if you're on them all day you might be bothered by little invisible sand flies that give you bites like mosquito bites but you don't feel them biting). My husband and I did that some years ago the very first time we were in Roatan on a cruise because we didn't have that many hours there. We asked another person on the beach to keep an eye on our towels and belongings while we snorkeled and it was fine.
