French Harbour is one of the oldest communities in Roatan and still serves as a commercial hub. The shipping industry is centralized here, there are multiple schools, as well as offices and shops. The island's newest medical center is also located in French Harbour, offering more convenient services to residents and visitors to the eastern side of Roatan.
French Harbour is east of the airport, the ferry, and both cruise ship ports. The Galaxy Wave ferry and Mahogany Bay cruise port are just outside French Harbour, making for a very quick journey if your destination is around this neighborhood.
COXEN HOLE
Although it would be a stretch to call this cluster of clapboard houses attractive, the town's rich heritage lends it a unique atmosphere. More cruise ships are docking at the port here each day, which has led to a retail boom and mega shopping plazas aimed at ship passengers.
SANDY BAY
Sandy Bay is much more relaxed, less crowded and more exclusive. You might even say it is more cultural than the other two areas in our West Bay Roatan section.
​
The beaches in Sandy Bay are not the stereotype Caribbean White Sand Beaches. They tend to be more golden that white, they are still beautiful and much protected by the reef that surrounds the north shore of the Roatan Island. Access to the reef for diving; as well as to outstanding fishing areas are readily available, making both activities one of the main attractions to Sandy Bay Roatan.
