You kick gravel at first light, the engine murmuring like a compact beast, and the coast opens up: one side of the trail drops to turquoise reef, the other rises into verdant ridges dotted with wooden houses. This is Roatán’s east end — less developed, louder with birds and community rhythms — and a four-hour ATV loop that threads villages, overlooks and a handful of photo stops.
