San Lorenzo town, S Honduras, on the Gulf of Fonseca. Its satellite, Henecán is the chief Pacific port of Honduras. Henecán's modern port facilities and deepwater harbor and channel approach were constructed in the late 1970s after the old port at Amapala, on Tigre Island, became outmoded. The town has a small variety of light industry. It is served by the Inter-Ocean Highway, which links it to the Inter-American Highway.
