West End village
Best first night: dive shops, counters and the beach are a walk from the door; choose a place with a night desk, a taxi-reachable door and a lit path.
Rules in force · 10Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras and Nicaragua (CA-4) giv…Do not walk the main road after darkSand and broken paths
- Central America ↗Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras and Nicaragua (CA-4) give one shared entry allowance, usually 90 days in total; leaving for Belize, Costa Rica or Mexico and coming back does not always reset it — check with immigration before a long stay.
- Central America ↗Cross land borders in daylight and early in the day; many posts close or empty of transport by late afternoon, and the approaches are where robberies happen.
- Central America ↗Several borders charge entry, exit or municipal fees in US dollars (Belize exit, Nicaragua entry and exit, Honduras entry); carry small, clean US notes and ask for a receipt.
- Honduras ↗Check entry rules for your passport with Honduras's migration authority or a Honduran consulate; the CA-4 agreement with Guatemala, El Salvador and Nicaragua can make your permitted stay count across all four.
- Honduras ↗Transit San Pedro Sula and Tegucigalpa by day and with pre-arranged transport; do not use public buses between cities.
- Honduras ↗Do not travel to Gracias a Dios (La Mosquitia) except with a specialist operator; several governments advise against all travel there.
- Bay Islands ↗Do not touch coral or take shells; check the safety record of any dive shop.
- Roatán ↗Do not walk the main road after dark: it is unlit and has no pavement. Book a taxi or stay in the village where you sleep.
- Roatán ↗Sand and broken paths: bags go from the taxi to the door, never on a walk.
- Roatán ↗Do not touch coral or take shells: use reef-safe sunscreen and check the safety record of any dive shop.
