About this site

Lighthouse Reef is an atoll off the coast of Belize, roughly 50 miles from the mainland and best known as the location of the Great Blue Hole. The atoll's reef system sits within Belize District waters and is typically accessed by boat from Belize City or nearby cayes such as Caye Caulker and San Pedro.
