Triunfo de la Cruz, a little over 9 km north-east of Tela, is home to one of the largest Garífuna communities on the coast, according to Visit Honduras, and is in a land dispute: according to Contracorriente (August 2026), the Inter-American Court of Human Rights ruled against Honduras in 2015 for violating its right to collective property.

Cayo Cochino Mayor, the largest island in the archipelago, and the Bolaños and Timón cays have unconfirmed status: neither the HCRF nor the 2026 Honduran press clearly describes tourist visits to Cayo Mayor, and for Bolaños and Timón visits are described only by a Civitatis tour and a Roatán operator's page, respectively. The 2023-2034 management plan requires an authorised local guide and a life jacket for snorkelling, only allows camping on Bolaños from December to May, with permission from the community board and the co-manager, and notes strong currents at the snorkelling sites near Cayo Zacate and Bolaños; it also restricts access from 1 April to 30 May and from 1 July to 30 September on Paloma, Arena and Zacate cays and other sites where seabird colonies nest.
