Puerto Cortés is a working port rather than a sightseeing town, so the highlights are the waterfront, the central park, and the easy half-day trips out along the coast. The Spanish colonial fortress at Omoa is the main draw within the wider area, with the long dark-sand beach at Playa de Omoa attached to it. In town itself, the central plaza, Estadio Excélsior on match nights, and the busy fish landings on the bay give you a feel for the port's everyday life.
