Going to the East End of the island

Camp Bay Beach

Well, let me say first of all that I deleted this original post in error.... so here's to re-creation.













Daryl and I had never made it to the far end of the island. As our time on Roatan is whipping by, it was time to go exploring again.

We got in the car and drove to the end of the road....almost. ...the last eight miles or so were a dirt road, and then it became a track.

The scenery was absolutely spectacular.

We turned around and went back to Camp Bay Lodge.



























The lodge was rustic for sure.
The food was good!
There were a few other people there but not many.

The lady who owns it.... I think.... is from Canada. She said they spend six months in Canada and six at the lodge.
They have two small children. The young lad goes to a local school. Mom is French, dad is German, they speak English at home and the school is Spanish. Quite the variety.

We didn't swim as it started to rain, besides the water dropped off quickly and way out of my comfort zone.


Daryl making me laugh.

We were trying to find the public beach. There are no road signs so we ended up on someone's private property, and drove through lovely mangroves. 

Thanks to Daryl's eagle eyes we found the beach.

It literally went on forever.... we tried but did not make it to either end.

There were lots of families picnicking in the trees, and lots of kids in the water.

Next stop was Paya Bay, an upscale condominium that was in the middle of nowhere.
Busy lunch crowd though.








It had spectacular views.



















There were lots of rules at Paya Bay.... although it has the only nude beach on the island.











Oak Ridge, It seems the east side of the island has more rugged terrain, and more fishing villages.

Mariposa is another new development that will have spectacular views.

Sadly there are areas of the infrastructure that remains a work. in progress.

All in all another enjoyable day.

Cheers
