Roatán, (16.34°N 86.33° W) located between the islands of Utila and Guanaja, is the largest of The Honduras Bay Islands. It is approximately 60 kilometres long, and less than 8 kilometres wide at its widest point. Although there is some debate on the actual size this is the most popular size. Located near the largest barrier reef in the Caribbean Sea (second largest worldwide after Australia's Great Barrier Reef), it has become an important cruising and diving destination in Honduras. Tourism and Commercial Fishing are the two critical economic producers.

The Capital of Roatan is Coxen Hole. It is the most highly populated town. It is located in the Southwest of the island. Other important towns include French Harbour and Oak Ridge.

1998 Hurricane Mitch, and 2005 Hurricane Wilma, brought only minimal damage to Roatan. Sadly, CNN and other news agencies reported extensive damage, temporarily paralyzing most commercial activity. This had a negative impact on the islands econmy. Tourism and other commercial activities suffered needlessly because of this negative press.

Roatán is served by Roatán International Airport.

The island was formerly known as Ruatan and Rattan.
