The waters encompassing South Water Caye are abundant with a diverse array of fish species and plant life.
Situated in close proximity to the UNESCO-designated Belize Barrier Reef, it's no surprise that scuba diving and snorkeling are highly favored activities in this area.
Visitors may also partake in a distinctive experience by learning traditional fishing techniques.
However, it's worth noting that fishing is restricted to designated areas as South Water Caye is located within a natural reserve.
Visitor reviews highlight that the beach is beautiful and a great place for snorkeling and diving. However, some visitors complain that it can get too crowded.
Visitors to South Water Caye often stay in the nearby town of Dangriga or at eco-resorts on the caye itself, which is just a short walk from the beach. These locations are popular due to their proximity to the Belize Barrier Reef, making them ideal for snorkeling and diving enthusiasts.
