Laughingbird Caye National Park is a long narrow island off the eastern coast of Belize. It contains what is known as a “faro” or “shelf atoll,” which is a steep-sided atoll with a central lagoon. This particular faro is surrounded by deep water channels all around. These unique features make the Laughingbird Faro an excellent habitat for marine life.
To protect the wildlife and corral that live there, the caye was declared a protected area in 1981. Today, it is a national park of Belize that attracts many visitors each year. Laughingbird Caye can be reached by boat from the nearby resort town of Palcencia. Map
