Caye Caulker is a 15-minute flight or 30-minute water taxi ride from Belize City. The caye boasts a white sandy beach and is only one mile from the barrier reef. The slogan of the island is "go slow," and it is the best choice for a beach experience if you are only in port for a short period of time.
St. Georges Caye--the site of a battle between British and Spanish troops over the territory of Belize--is located nine miles from Belize City. A moon-shaped coral island, St. Georges Caye flaunts a white sandy beach and the opportunity to engage in land and water sports.
Surprisingly, Belize does not have as many public beaches as other tropical destinations, but plenty of activities are available for those who wish to enjoy the Caribbean. Belize is known for diving along its barrier reef and the atolls surrounding it. Kayaking through the mangroves often provides glimpses of manatees, and snorkeling allows visitors to see marine life up close.
