Long Caye Aquarium (Lighthouse Reef)
17° 12.9′ N · 87° 36.2′ W · approximate
A shallow, fish-packed reef off the west side of Long Caye at Lighthouse Reef, popular with dive boats for its marine biodiversity - and where a foreign yacht's anchor damage made national news in 2020.
Practical
Position approximate: off Long Caye's northwest shore from its OpenStreetMap outline; ask an operator for the mooring pins. Belize Audubon says the Aquarium has mooring pins; never anchor on it - larger boats anchor further south near designated anchoring locations (Channel 5, 2020). Listed among Lighthouse Reef's dive sites with Silver Caves, Tres Cocos and West Point (Wikipedia). Dive with a licensed guide.
