St. George's Caye Anchorage
17° 33.4′ N · 88° 4.7′ W · approximate
Belize's first capital is now a sleepy caye of private houses and a dive resort 9 miles off Belize City; anchoring in its lee puts you a short dinghy ride from the reef and away from the city's rolly roadstead.
Practical
Position approximate: west (lee) side of the island using OpenStreetMap's St. George's Caye outline; no published depths or holding were found, so approach with eyeball navigation and sound for sand. Mangrove reserve (St. George's Caye Mangrove Reserve) on the south part. Population only about 20; a resort and private homes; no shops. The Rusty Barge wreck is mapped about 1 nm east (OpenStreetMap).
