Hopkins Village

On this 12-mile stretch of golden sand beach, the village was once a little known fishing community where Garifuna men traditionally fished and carve canoes while the women wove baskets and tended to plantations.  Today it has become a lively visitor destination where one can experience the activity of village life and learn to beat the Garifuna drums, or choose from a variety of eclectic boutique resorts and condominiums spread out on the beach in both directions.  

 

This coastal location offers an array of activities and experiences from the leisurely beach stay, to forays into rainforest, Maya sites and day trips offshore for snorkeling, scuba diving or deep sea fishing.
