quote of the day

People in naturism are open-minded, they are tolerant, and -- in general  -- tend to be exceptional people.

- Claudia (a special guest originally from Germany who now resides in California. She visited Paya Bay with her husband and six-year-old son)

exploring the helene cave

On a recent trip to Helene I accompanied a group of very adventurous Paya Bay guests on an exploration of the island's famous cave. The jungle around the cave area has a mysterious, magical, "middle-earth" quality to it. Many of Helene's residents took refuge in this cave when Hurricane Mitch pummeled the island with category five winds for over 48 hours in 1998. This adventure will be offered as part of our new mystical weeks to be introduced in 2014!

remember to remember

Remember to remember means remember to be aware. Remember to be aware in this moment right now. Being aware is seeing everything around you, hearing everything around you, feeling everything around you, and being completely focused on what you are doing right now.

Most people bring what they do not want because they are not aware that they are listening to the thoughts in their heads about the past and the future. They are not even aware that they are being hypnotized by those thoughts, and are therefore living their life unconsciously.

When you remember to be aware, you are aware immediately. You just have to remember to remember!

the zen path, revisited

The Grounds team is currently doing maintenance of The Zen Path.  This scenic footpath runs along the cliff top from the bungalows area to Bliss Beach. It now delivers you right to the Black Iguana beach bar. Part of the project is widening the trail (just a bit) so it's easier to walk.

taking a break

After nearly seven years of pumping my energy into the Paya Bay project, I recently had to admit to myself that I am thoroughly exhausted. I am currently taking an extended break to regroup and recharge.

boat trip to helene (2)

After some great snorkeling and a picnic lunch at Rocky Point, we hiked through beautiful tropical nature to the quaint, charming island town on Helene...

A BYOB beach shack where young locals hang out and party on weekends. So amazingly cute and rustic! Love it!

boat trip to helene

Today we took a boat trip to Helene, an island adjacent to Roatan. After going through the mangrove canal, we established base at our friends Jim and Judith's place on Rocky Point. There's great snorkeling to be enjoyed right offshore from their island home.
