In the past 50 years, Roatan tourism has grown from around 1,000 annual visitors to nearly 2 million. The West end town of Coxen Hole is now fully developed with an international airport, a large cruise port, and enough nearby hotels and restaurants to service these incoming tourists.
The island measures just 37 miles from end to end, with a maximum width from North to South of less than 5 miles. Due to the fact that most development has been limited to the West end, most tourism takes place in and around Coxen Hole.

Tourists and local guides often discourage travel to the East due to historically poor road conditions. While it’s true that road improvements are needed, road construction crews are hard at work every day and are making significant progress.
