The town is small and peaceful, making it an ideal place for those who want to escape the hustle and bustle of city life. There is a small but growing expat community in Omoa, mainly consisting of retirees from the United States and Canada. They often gather for social events, such as beach barbecues, fishing trips, and holiday celebrations, providing a sense of community and camaraderie. Cultural attractions in and around Omoa include the historic San Fernando de Omoa Fortress, which dates back to the Spanish colonial era. There are also several local markets where you can buy fresh produce, handmade crafts, and traditional Honduran foods. For recreation, there are plenty of outdoor activities to enjoy. You can swim or sunbathe on the beautiful beaches, go fishing or boating in the clear blue waters, or hike in the nearby mountains and forests.
