The Beach South Water Caye, Belize

How to Get There

Their base of operations is their sister hotel (Pelican Beach Resort, Dangriga), which is located near the Dangriga airstrip. If you are entering Dangriga from there, they provide complimentary transportation from the Dangriga airstrip to the hotel and dock.

Dive Overview

Home to the second largest barrier reef in the world, Belize offers good Caribbean diving combined with an excellent tropical rain forest, exotic birds, and historical Mayan ruins. Its also one of the few places in the world where you can scuba dive (not just snorkel) with whale sharks.
