Omoa

Omoa is a tiny beach town in Honduras known for its beautiful Caribbean Sea beaches. Omna's pristine sand beaches and clear blue water make for a winning mix. Enjoy the sight of blue sea reaching out for miles before you as you lie on the white sand. Omoa is a fantastic spot to study about colonial history because the town was once the most important Caribbean port.

You can stroll from the beach to the 18th century Spanish fort of San Fernando, or you can stay at the beach and swim, sunbathe, and watch boats moored on the sand. You can also observe the lively dolphins that enjoy swimming in the harbor or offshore. Puerto Cortés, located 11 miles (18 kilometers) east of Omoa, is easily accessible by boat or car. Because of its banana exports, Puerto Cortés is Honduras' primary port and one of the busiest in Central America. Puerto Cortés, while not as lovely as Omoa, is worth a visit if you want to see a thriving Honduran town.
