History
Roatán’s human story mixes Garífuna culture with British and Spanish colonial activity; the island long served as a waypoint along Caribbean trade and fishing routes.
Conservation
The island sits adjacent to the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef; visitor care—no littering, no touching reef or wildlife, and supporting local sanctuaries—helps protect fragile marine and terrestrial habitats.
