Where British settlers and their slaves beat off a Spanish fleet in September 1798, an event Belize celebrates every 10 September as St. George's Caye Day. Settled in 1650, the caye was the colony's largest settlement and first capital.
Practical
10 September is a public holiday (expect overtime clearance charges and closed offices). The caye is mostly private; land only where invited. Coordinates from Wikipedia.
