More South Water Caye Pictures

These two pictures show the Mangrove on South Water Caye and the beaches.

The Southwater Caye Marine Park contains many varied and important habitats. Located about 10 miles due east of the mouth of the Sittee River on the mainland of Belize, the park covers approximately 62 square miles. The park runs from the drop off on the east side to extensive grass beds on the west side. The area encompasses 10 separate major mangrove cayes, two large mangrove ranges, a large twin caye formation, and many smaller islets. Most of the cayes are covered or fringed with mangrove, one of the most productive ecosystems in nature.
