The 400 secluded barrier islands of Belize, home to at least 50 species of corals and almost 500 tropical fish species, provide some of the world's best snorkeling and diving. Follow manatees or hover over whale sharks in Belize's famously crystalline water you spot exotic marine animals from hundreds of feet away. Anchor off a tranquil sandy island just inside the reef and feel the crunch of waves resonating with the pulse of ocean breezes. On land and at sea, Belize shows you a world that has endured for thousands of years. Unparalleled natural beauty both above and below the surface, accessed by superior sailing in calm, protected waters; it's hard to imagine a getaway so close and so far-away as Belize.
