The colorful, picturesque and absolutely charming town of Oak Ridge is located diagonally across the island from Paya Bay. The drive is approximately 10 km (6 miles) and takes about 15 minutes. Oak Ridge is called Roatan's "Venice" because it's built on canals, cays, and landfill. Many homes are built right along the water's edge and sometimes right in the water on stilts. Many people have small boats with outboard engines to get around town. A water taxi tour of this town and the mangrove canals is a cultural experience. [Photo credit: Robert Fullerton]
