Southwater Caye Shoreline

Private Cabana at South Water Lodge
 

South Water Caye is a wonderful spot for snorekling, scuba diving, kayaking, fishing or just doing nothing at all.  In fact, the beauty and diversity of the marine environment in the South Water Caye area led to its designation as a protected marine reserve to preserve its abundant marine life  including mangroves, vast sea-grass beds, coral gardens, coral mounds, vertical walled drop-offs, Great Frigate Birds, Brown Boobies, Sea Turtles, Eagle Rays and dolphins, not to mention sport fish such as permit, bones, tuna, tarpon, Barracuda, King Mackerel, jacks and snappers.

Lodging here is in very comfortable private cabanas with private bath (hot and cold water), fans, and private verandahs overlooking the island's mangroves.)
