Isla Pelícano (Gorgidup) Beach, Cayo Limón

9° 34.1′ N · 78° 52.3′ W · approximate

A small palm-and-sand island in the Cayos Limones, further from the mainland than the Carti day-trip islands and so with clearer water; it became famous after appearing in the series Money Heist.

Belize Barrier Reef

Practical

Coordinate approximate: the beach edge of the islet Gorgidup, which OpenStreetMap tags with the Spanish name Pelícano (way 12415947). A charter operator rates it 8 of 10: still on the regular water-taxi routes and busier since the TV fame (Catamaran Adventures). Visit by dinghy from the East Lemmons or Dog Island, ideally early or late; expect a landing fee of a few dollars per person (Panamaspot) and ask the caretaker before landing.
