Areas of Roatan
Flowers Bay
One of the island's oldest communities, ten minutes from West End and West Bay.
Flowers Bay runs along the southwestern shore between Coxen Hole and the road up to West Bay. It is one of Roatan's older settlements, founded by Caymanian families in the 1800s, and today it is a friendly residential community of homes, a sports court and roadside fruit stands.
Many people who move to Roatan choose to live along this coast: it is ten minutes from West End and West Bay, five from Coxen Hole, and good value.
