OCruisers Posted August 3, 2015 #2 Share Posted August 3, 2015 To go to a beach in Belize you need to take a boat to one of their barrier islands to swim or snorkel. :) Taking an excursion to the Barrier Reef (2nd largest in the world) is a wonderful thing to do! :) LuLu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wadethegringo Posted August 3, 2015 #4 Share Posted August 3, 2015 I know that. :D My question is has anyone been stop recently from swimming in the ocean due to the unruly seaweed? I live on ambergris Caye in Belize. I also just returned from a Caribbean cruise. Belize like all of the Caribbean has had a influx of seaweed "Sargassum". On the Resort beaches This is cleaned up continually. As far as the "live" seaweed growing it is present in most shallow areas. A few nice sand beaches on Ambergris Caye. The Split at Caye Caulker does not have a beach. It has a deep channel for swimming so no seaweed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
