Hole in the Wall

Top choice in Roatán


There's a party going on, way out in the mangroves at this over-the-water bar only accessible by boat (including on mangrove tours). Slip onto a stool next to fellas straight out of Pirates of the Caribbean, grab a beer or something stronger and try your gaming luck by tossing a ring onto a hook on the wall. There are also meals and snacks on offer.

If you're around at 4:20pm, the owner will fire up his circa 1645 canon and shoot something like a potato out of it, much to the delight of the swarthy patrons. You'll know everyone at the bar by the time you leave.
