We've compiled the best of the best in Puerto Cortes - browse our top choices for the top things to see or do during your stay.
The best beaches for visitors to Puerto Cortés are to the west and closest to Omoa. Cieneguita is wide, clean, and quiet, and the municipal beaches, also deemed Playa Coca Cola for the nearby soft drink-entitled depot, are bustling on weekends with families and juice vendors.
Nearby Garífuna communities of Travesia and Bajamar to the east and Marejada and Vacacional have drawn attention for their cultural richness and mid-July dance festivals, but they're a bit out of the way and either isolated or industrial. They're also somewhat unsafe for travelers on their own; go with a guide.
