The Cayes (small islands surrounded by extensive coral reefs) off the coast are Belize at its best.

Tranquil and beautiful with a laid-back Caribbean feel, this is the place to come to enjoy fishing, snorkeling, diving or simply relaxing. Most cayes are uninhabited or home only to local fishermen, but the largest, Ambergris Caye, is the most developed with some lovely beachfront properties.

Accommodation

From the mainland you fly to the town of San Pedro where you travel by motorboat or car to your accommodation. Although the town itself is great for shopping for local gifts, nightlife and delicious seafood restaurants most people prefer to stay in the more secluded parts of the island.

Diving and snorkeling

The main attraction is snorkeling and scuba-diving on the stunning reefs among the soft and hard corals, abundant with sea-life. Excursions are widely, such as a boat trip out to meet the weird and wonderful manatees as they rummage through the mangroves.

For more experienced divers, full-day trips out to Lighthouse Reef, Half Moon Caye and the Turneffe Islands can easily be arranged locally. From these cayes you can dive famous sites such as the spectacular Blue Hole.鈥�
