Lesser-known but just as spectacular is the South Water Caye Marine Reserve. It is one of the largest reserves in the Belize Barrier Reef System at nearly 117,875 acres (approximately ... more47,700 hectares). A ring of islands and mangrove forests make up the reserve and create a sheltered oasis for visitors and rare marine life. South Water Caye is known for its dense, red mangroves that thrive alongside coral outcrops and the rare diamond-shaped reefs known as faro. According to the Wildlife Conservation Society, “the sheltered waters and mangrove systems of the Pelican Cayes in the southern area of the Marine Reserve have been identified as one of the most biodiverse marine systems within the western hemisphere, supporting several endemic species, and species new to science.” This reserve is also significant due to its variety of fish and abundance of Spiny Lobster and conch. If you are lucky, you might see local artisanal fishers in this area, towing dugout canoes attached to their waists and using traditional free-dive techniques to fish.

The dazzlingly clear, sheltered waters are also perfect for diving, snorkeling, fishing, and kayaking. Divers see dramatic and colorful coral spur and groove formations. If the beach is more your speed, the southern portion of the reserve is well known for its sandy beaches. Since the reef is only a short swim from the shore, you can swim to nature’s aquarium in between relaxing in your hammock. “We went because we wanted to walk into the water and swim to the reef. This is truly not only possible but uniquely wonderful and satisfying,” said one TripAdvisor visitor.

Deep channels coincide with dramatic rising pinnacles at the Glover’s Reef Marine Reserve. The reserve is one of Belize’s three stunning atolls (one of four in the entire Caribbean), ... morering-shaped coral reefs that encircle pristine lagoons. One of the most spectacular locations for marine biodiversity, not only for Belize but in the region, the calm waters of the atoll’s lagoon are home to at least three species of sea turtles, eight species of sharks and rays, hundreds of species of fish, including the endangered Nassau Grouper, and many different types of coral. Glover’s Reef was originally inhabited by Mayan people, and Mayan pottery has been found on the islands. Named after English pirates John and Rodger Glover, it is rumored that these seafaring brothers buried their treasures here.

The real treasure in Glover’s Reef is the outdoor adventure. This reserve is ideal for diving, snorkeling, kayaking, fly fishing, and sailing. Explore the thriving coral formations of this site, and you’ll see why it is known as a top diver’s spot! After a day on the water, visitors can also recharge at one of the “off the grid” retreats.

“My adult son and I spent five wonderful days at Glover’s Atoll, which weren’t nearly enough. This island isn’t for everyone, but if you love going to sleep with the sea breeze gently blowing through your windows, getting up to find Nurse sharks and Spotted Eagle Rays swimming under your hut, and spending the evening looking at the magnificent stars in the sky then this little piece of paradise is for you!” wrote one Glover’s Reef visitor on TripAdvisor.
