Moho Caye, located 12 miles off the coast of Belize west of Placencia Village just a two hour flight from Miami or Houston, is a lush jungle island in Belizean waters in the Caribbean Sea.
It lies 12 miles west of Placencia village and 9 miles east of the Belize Barrier reef. The Belize barrier reef is the largest in this hemisphere and second in the world only to the Great Australian Barrier reef.
About two thirds of the shoreline has sandy beaches. They are narrow and full of debris from 20 plus years of being uninhabited. They can easily be enlarged by clearing grass and other vegetation. The rest of the shoreline is small bits of coral and sand combined.
There are 3 or 4 small areas of mangroves on the shoreline. They are no more than 50 to 75 feet each and the water in front of them is sand and/or coral and some small rocks. Mostly sand though. There is NO mud in the sea around Moho Caye. Other than the mangroves mentioned above the entire shoreline is lined with coconut trees. There are thousands of them ranging from coconuts just sprouting to 30' tall trees full of coconuts. There are also some Banyan trees and a few other miscellaneous broadleaf trees.
There is plenty of coral, fish, including snapper, jack, parrot fish, angel fish, blue tang, sea cucumbers, sea fans, 8' brain corals, barracuda, school of tuna (tiny fingerlings), etc. The water gradually gets deeper as you go away from the island and about 300 to 500 feet from shore drops off sharply to 100 feet and levels off.
Great snorkeling, diving and fishing.
