Can You Snorkel From The Beach In Belize?

Half Moon Caye, a crescent-shaped caye on the Lighthouse Reef Atoll, is a unique Belize Island that offers walk-in beach snorkeling. This crescent-shaped caye is located on the protected marine reserve and UNESCO World Heritage site. Shore snorkeling is not exceptional as there is no reef here, but you can see huge stingrays. The coast of mainland Belize primarily consists of tropical forest and mangrove ecosystems that are not ideal for snorkeling.

Brazil is renowned for its world-class snorkeling, which can be combined with relaxing on idyllic white beaches. The dry season from November to May is the best time to visit and explore the Belize Barrier Reef, where visibility remains constant year-round. Even without an artificial reef, you can certainly snorkel off the shore anywhere in Belize.

The most popular Belize snorkeling starts from the town of San Pedro on Ambergris Caye. The reef is very close to Ambergris, which is one of the best places to snorkel from the shore. The best snorkeling from shore locations in Belize are mostly on the atolls and southern cayes.

Goffs Caye, located about 30 minutes by boat from Belize City, is one of the best places for snorkeling in Belize that can be visited in a morning. The most popular snorkeling spots are along the atolls and southern cayes, with extensive underwater activities available.
