Villages in Roatan
West End-West Bay - has some good restaurants and places to stay, and several large resorts have been built on the beach. If you don't mind the resorts and larger hotels, it's a beautiful stretch of beach. It is recommended to spend beach time in the West Bay and bar time in the West End. It definitely the most fun town on the island. There are bars, restaurants, live music, right on the Caribbean. This is also where the best sunsets are, with maybe the exception of West Bay. The reef is a short swim away for excellent snorkeling, especially around the southern point of Half Moon Bay.
Sandy Bay
French Harbor - has some good restaurants and resorts and most tourists do not venture further east than French Harbour, which is at roughly the mid point of the island. Past this point are a few newer beach resorts, resort communities, and some private towns with beaches and resorts catering exclusively to cruise ship passengers. Many of the restaurants and bars on this part of the island are frequented more by locals and expats than tourists. One point of interest would be Jonesville and the infamous Hole in the Wall restaurant reached by taking a small water taxi from Jonesville to reach it.
Coxen Hole - a pit but after you get used to it, there are most of life's necessities there.
Oak Ridge-Punta Gorda - shortly after the fork in the road to Oak Ridge, the paved road ends and you can continue to Port Royal which was originally founded by English pirates. Past this there lies a few small villages and a handful of homes mostly occupied by expatriates.
Camp Bay - is a further on from Oak Ridge and about the furthest you can go in a car. Past Camp Bay are the mangroves which are quite beautiful when navigated by boat. There are many tours through the mangroves which can be chartered from various points on the island.
