Walking Tour of Roatan Island West End

West End is a considered the "tourist area" by the Roatan residents.  In West End, you will find lots of diving operators, gift shops, restaurants, people, and dogs.  West End has a sandy road which is occasionally scraped to smooth out the holes.  Driving on the sandy road is best described as a slow crawl.  Better to just park the car a walk.  End to end is about a half mile.  There are vendors selling fresh vegetables as well as shrimp and fish from open trucks.  They offer good value and good food.  To see how West End has changed over the years follow these links: 2008, 2009 or 2011.  This road was finally paved but the electrical lines are still above ground and there are only a few sewer hookups by the restaurants and shops.  They did not provide parking along the paved road so you will have to park outside and walk in.  Some local entrepreneurs have a lot just outside of the entrance to West End where pay $1 US or 20 Lempira's per hour!  There is parking at the Bolski restaurant for customers.
