South Water Caye

One of Belize's most gorgeous tropical coastlines is South Palm Caye. It's 14 miles from Dangriti on the same-named island in the conservation area, near to the barrier reef. You can only access to South Water Caye by taking a water taxi or chartering a private boat.

South Water Caye offers panoramic views of white-sand beaches and a pure, turquoise water, as well as superb diving and snorkeling options. The neighboring barrier reef acts as a natural breakwater, protecting the island's shore from heavy waves, and the trade winds calm off the area, producing a pleasant microclimate. Tourists can swim, sunbathe, and dive deep into the coastal zone while on vacation on the island, learning about the diversity of the underwater world in this region of the Caribbean Sea. After you've had your fill of the water, visit the reserve to observe the life of sea turtles for some fun on land.

On South Water Caye, the beach infrastructure is represented by two hotels, where you may get all you need for a good rest and snorkeling. The sandflies are the only drawback that visitors may face.
