The small town of Bonacca is situated about 250 yards offshore, and was constructed by dumping refuse and debris into the gap that separated two adjacent cays. The town was built by the inhabitants as a way to escape from the millions of "no-see-ums" and mosquitoes that enjoy repopulating the island itself (As the saying goes, "There's not a single mosquito in Honduras. They're all married, with very large families.") In Bonacca, there are several small stores that supply locals with food and a few dry goods, a fewer shops that sell clothing, although none are oriented for the visiting tourist; local taverns and a few dance halls are safe to visit in the evening. Most surprising are the many different churches throughout the town that have been built by Mormons, 7th Day Adventists, Methodists, and Baptist missionaries. A walk through the town (no vehicles here, either) takes about an hour, including a stop for a (warm) beer at a local tavern. If you shop, plan on staying two hours.
