Bahía Honda

Door to the Deep Pacific

Bahía Honda is a picturesque coastal township with a population of 668 inhabitants in 2023 and an area of 173.1 km², making it one of the least densely populated townships in the district.

It is located at an average altitude of 0 m above sea level.ed in the highest part of Bahía Honda Island (at 28m asl), it is bordered to the south by the vast Pacific Ocean. Its western boundary is with the township of Rio Grande. Artisanal fishing is a fundamental economic activity for its inhabitants.

The low population density of Bahía Honda, despite its coastal location and its role as a strategic point for accessing the intricate Pacific coast and nearby Managua Island, suggests a focus on natural resource conservation and a potential for low-impact ecotourism, rather than intensive urban development. This could indicate infrastructure challenges or a conscious choice to preserve its environment.
