Still more, there is a small market just next to el Faro where tourist frequently purchase souvenirs.

Once you arrive at the Roatan Rum Company, the rum experts will invite you to try free samples of their artisan rums and cakes which are perfect in warm weather! - Once surrounded by the exotic smells, you will be taken to the rear door of the store which takes you to one of the most spectacular views of the Caribbean Sea. You will be able to take great pictures and enjoy cold and tasty drinks at the Fusion bar.

West End Village is located on the northwestern end of Roatan. Often described as bohemian and somewhat of an enigma, West End is truly unique both in its layout and the people that call it home. Easily the busiest of the tourism hotspots, the village is a mini-metropolis of accommodation, restaurants, bars, lounges, scuba shops and souvenir/artist emporiums. Half the town is fronted by Half Moon Bay, a perfectly crescent-shaped, palm-lined beach; the launching pad for West End wall and it colorful marine life.

West Bay Beach is clean and typically uncrowded. It is also consistently picked as one of the best beaches in the Caribbean and Central America.

The coral reef comes within a few yards off the shore. It has a vibrant marine life and an array of fish, you can see them by snorkeling off the beac

Coxen Hole -also known as Roatan- is the main city for business, government, and economic activity on the island of Roatan. The international airport is located at the exit towards French Harbor. There are also two main docks: the "cabotage pier" which is where international cruises dock, located in front of the Coxen Hole cemetery; and the "old pier", which was where the ferries from La Ceiba arrived.

Although there are not that many classic activities for tourists here in Flowers Bay, the community offers plenty of charm. There is the community basketball court where there is always a game going on. There is a footpath which runs along the ocean front road which is popular with walkers and joggers and you will find one of two small beaches which are very popular with local residents on the weekends.

Flower’s Bay is an ideal destination for travelers who are looking for some peace and quiet and wish to get away from all the hustle and bustle of the bigger tourist towns.
