Belize is one of those places that water activity lovers dream of eagerly.
This is because the country consists of about 400 kilometers of coastline and more than 200 islands and islets: a true paradise for those who love the sea, diving, and adventures in contact with these natural elements.
Given the beauty of the landscapes, however, even those who simply love to laze on the beach, letting themselves be caressed by the sun, will find enchanting beaches here where they can spend a great vacation.
So what are the best beaches in Belize?
A brief guide will help in choosing the place to visit, considering the personal inclination towards the activities to be practiced.
First of all, to the east of Belize is the famous Great Blue Hole, a cavity formed in water, almost perfectly round in shape with almost completely vertical walls. It was Jacques Cousteau who gave it the proper and deserved attention, electing it as one of the 10 most interesting diving sites in the world. Enthusiasts of this discipline can therefore discover its extraordinary uniqueness, so much so that this place has been inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Among the best beaches in Belize, there are several on the island of Caye Ambergris, also because this is the closest point to reach the Great Blue Hole. In particular, we note San Pedro beach, where there are several facilities where you can book a stay.
Another island to consider is Caye Caulker, a natural jewel with few comparisons.
Belize is a magical place when it comes to marine life; it is no coincidence that a long coral reef is found here: the second largest in the world.
And it is because of this same extraordinary richness that UNESCO has focused attention on these wonderful places, recognizing their value particularly in the following natural and marine reserves:
- Glover’s Reef Marine Reserve,
- Blue Hole Natural Monument,
- Half Moon Caye Natural Monument,
- Sapodilla Cayes Marine Reserve,
- Bacalar Chico National Park & Marine Reserve,
- Laughing Bird Caye National Park.
