Fort Morgan Cay is a thirty acre (twelve hectare), white sand ringed island located in the secluded Port Royal Bay, located a mere five minute boat ride from the Honduran island of Roatán. Famous for its proximity to the world’s second largest coral reef, these tropical waters boast unrivaled snorkeling and scuba diving just off its shores.
The island has three gorgeous secluded beaches to enjoy the warm Caribbean waters. When you have had enough sun, grab a kayak or jet ski and explore the eastern end of the island with its mangrove habitat, egrets, blue crabs and turtles, or visit a nearby sunken reef, drop a line in the sea for grouper and bass, or snorkel for conch.
Discovered in 1512 by Christopher Columbus, The Bay Islands of Honduras still keep their primitive essence. Roatán is a true tropical island with steep-sloping jungle-covered hills, long stretches of sandy beaches and beautiful fringing coral reefs. Home originally to the Paya Indians, the island passed from country to country during the conquest of the Americas in the 16th century, viciously fought by both English and Spanish crowns.
This island became the mighty stronghold of Henry Morgan, who ravaged and plundered the Spanish Main. Occupied by the British for a long time, Roatán carries a legacy in the language and culture. In the African slave trade, Roatán had the dubious pleasure of being the dumping ground for the most rebellious and troublesome slaves the British could not control. Today, their descendants compromise a distinct ethnic group called Garífuna. Their wonderful culture of song and dance is still linked to their West African heritage.
