The Great Maya Reef

 

Protecting the east coast of Belize, the Great Maya Reef is the world’s second largest barrier reef (after Australia’s). Listed as a World Heritage site, it is over 200 miles long and lies just a half mile (1 km) off the shore of Belize’s Ambergris Caye and Caye Caulker. Angelfish, Butterfly Fish, Clown Fish (Nemo), Mantarays, Stingrays, Sponges and many varieties of Coral create a colourful feast for the eyes.
