Mountains cover more than two thirds of Honduras. The Central Plateau, with its high ridges and deep valleys, occupies about 65% of the country. Most of the arable land in this major region is under cultivation, producing coffee, tobacco, grains, fruits and vegetables. Farther east along the Caribbean coastline is La Mosquitia, a great expanse of waterlogged terrain of mangrove swamps and rivers. In the south, the natural, seasonally dry landscape of savanna and acacia has given way to fields of cotton and irrigated rice. Along the north, Honduras has a large Caribbean Sea coastline, and to the south, a shorter coastline along the Pacific Ocean. Beautiful beaches can be found on the Honduran coast. In addition to the mainland, Honduras has insular possessions. These include the Bay Islands off the Caribbean coast.
