Half Moon Caye is a charming island located along the Lighthouse Reef Atoll's southwestern corner, noted as a top snorkeling and diving site in North America by a number of national and international publications. The caye is home to gorgeous sand beaches surrounded by crystal-clear waters that are densely populated with native marine life, including loggerhead turtles, stingrays, sand eels, hogfish, and a variety of coral species. On the protected national park island, habitats provide the only known home for the Belize Atoll gecko in the world, along with the only viable breeding site in the western Caribbean for the red-footed booby.
