Coco
Beach is located on Ambergris Caye, the most popular island
off the coast of Belize. Ambergris Caye offers numerous water
activities such as world class snorkeling, scuba diving, fishing,
sailing, kayaking, windsurfing, parasailing, jet skiing, and
expert guided eco-tour excursions on the island and on the
mainland.
Some of the best diving in the world is found off the shores
of Belize, including world famous Blue Hole. The abundance
of great diving, snorkeling, and fishing are related to Belize's
Barrier Reef located less than a mile from Ambergris Caye,
which is the second longest reef in the world. Water visibility
commonly reaches 100+ feet and water temperatures average
80 degrees Fahrenheit, contributing to the overall ideal conditions
for great diving and snorkeling.
Fisherman will be happy to know that spin, fly, and trolling
is available all year round. The estuaries, inlets and mouths
to the many rivers are known for their tarpon, snook and jack.
The lagoons and flats are known for their bonefish, permit
and barracuda. The coral reefs support grouper, snapper, jack
and barracuda while the deeper waters off the reef are home
to sailfish, marlin, bonito and pompano.
The body of calm water created by Belize's Barrier reef and
the constant trade winds provide an ideal location for water
sports. The Caribbean waters below are so clear that you can
see fish and stingrays while you play, as well as the occasional
dolphin or sea turtle sighting.
Our Belize Activities Desk is located on a dock just north
of Coco Beach and can customize an itinerary of activities
for you. In addition to the water sports available offshore,
there are also secluded beach barbeques, tours of Maya ruins,
cave tubing, river kayaking, and many other mainland adventures
just a short boat trip away.
