 Honduras This Week Travel and Tourism -- August 1999
Omoa has long been a popular weekend beach destination for hot and sweaty Sampedranos, as the residents of San Pedro Sula are commonly called.
My last trip to Omoa was some 12 years ago and basically it hasn't changed all that much, save for the new beachfront restaurants, a few new small hotels and some of the new developments outside of town geared toward wealthy Hondurans who want to build a home or dock their boat.
Omoa on the other hand is a very quiet and tranquil place where according to one foreign hotel owner, "tourists can sleep on the beach" if they so desired without the thought of being robbed.

 Numerical modeling of the September 13, 1999 landslide and tsunami on Fatu Hiva Island (French Polynesia)
On September 13, 1999, Omoa Bay (Fatu Hiva Island, French Polynesia) was struck by 2 to 5 m high water waves: several buildings were flooded and destroyed but no lives were lost.
We simulate the tsunami generation due to a subaerial landslide, using a finite-difference model assimilating the landslide to a flow of granular material.
We show that the striking amplification observed in Omoa Bay is related to the trapping of waves due to the shallow submarine shelf surrounding the island.
