More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step off the van onto a sun-bright road in Coxen Hole and the ocean announces itself before you see it—waves daring you with a blue that reads like a promise. The first stops are compact and sensory: the Roatan Chocolate Factory, where cacao is peeled back to reveal its sharp, floral flavors, and a cliffside rum bar that hands you a small, warming sample while the Caribbean wind tugs at your hat.
