CAYES OF BELIZE - ST. GEORGE'S CAYE




Located about 20 minutes by boat from Belize City, the tiny, crescent-shaped St. George’s Caye is the most historic of all the offshore cayes. It was here that the British established the territory’s first real settlement and where the Spanish made their last-ditch effort to conquer Belize on Sept. 10, 1798. Belizeans still commemorate this battle annually as St. George’s Caye Day.
St George’s Caye is a popular destination for fishing, snorkeling or just relaxing on the beach. St. Georges Lodge dive resort provides an intimate romantic setting, and Colonial-style Cottage Colony is close to the water’s edge.
