• The settlement is divided into two sections, one on the north side (Baila) and the other on the south side (False Sittee) . Hopkins is bordered on the interior side by the Maya Mountains and the Cockscomb Range, and on the coast by the Caribbean Sea. It's also in close proximity to the Sittee River. The village was founded in 1942 to replace Newtown , which had been destroyed by a hurricane a few miles up the coast .

Along with a great variety of tropical fish, the area is also hugely attractive for its different coral formations.

Mayflower Bocawina was designated a National Park back in 2001. The Park contains over 7000 acres of pristine lowland broadleaf forest, waterfalls and three archaeological sites. The park has miles of trails leading through jungle on the way to the waterfalls, Maya ruins and other natural features and several threatened species have been recorded in the area, including the endangered Yucatan black howler monkey, spider monkey and Baird’s tapir and the sabrinus and Sanderson’s rain frogs. The National Park designation supports the protection of the watersheds, and allows for low-impact non-extractive activities such as education, tourism and research activities.
