Belize's The Cayes and Atolls
The Cayes and Atolls
It is quite possible that the word “relaxation” found its definition on the shores of Belize’s Cayes and Atolls. Days of snorkeling followed by a sunset cruise atop crystalline waters; views of San Pedro’s pastel buildings huddled among the palm trees; surf breaks against pristine white shores of sparkling sands; these are the settings of the Cayes and Atolls. Pristine, panoramic, perfect.
Here, more than 400 cayes speckle the Caribbean Sea, most lying within the Barrier Reef. Their fortunate inhabitants include pelicans, brown and red footed boobies, and the ever intriguing wish-willies. From Wee Wee Caye to Sandfly Caye to Laughing Bird Caye, Crawl Caye, Cockney Range and Baker’s Rendezvous, the Cayes offer scenic delights as unique as their names and are well deserving of a relaxed exploration.
