Half Moon Caye
Top 5 in Top 10 Best Beaches in Belize
Half Moon Caye's coastline is a safe, shallow beach flanked by an orange grove. It offers a once-in-a-lifetime chance to go snorkeling and diving. The Half Moon Caye Wall dive location is 80 kilometers east of Belize City, near the Lighthouse Reef Atoll. Renting a boat or yacht is the most convenient way to get there. Half Moon Caye's beach is a beautiful crescent-shaped stretch of powder-soft white sand backed by coconut palms and fronted by the Caribbean's blue waters, living up to the island's name.
Half Moon Caye is a reserve, thus there are no hotels, shops, or other establishments on the island. The island beach is never crowded for the same reason. The dive site area's coastline zone and seabed are sandy, there are no underwater currents, the barrier reef is one of the most beautiful in the world, and the underwater life is diverse. The beach area has a diving depth of more than 9 meters and visibility of 30 meters. After sunbathing and bathing in the Caribbean Sea, tourists can observe the reserve's inhabitants, including turtles, geckos, boobies, frigates, mangrove warblers, and other wildlife. In addition, the Great Blue Hole, a sinkhole of particular interest to diving lovers, is located near the Half Moon Caye coast.
