Southwater Caye

International Zoological Expeditions(IZE)

IZE's private cottages are nestled in the mangroves on the eastern shoreline of the island to take advantage of the cooling trade winds. They are so close to the water's edge that you awaken to a view of the barrier reef and the sound of waves gently lapping the shore beneath you. They feature secluded decks, electric fans, and private bathrooms with hot water showers, making them perfect for families, singles, couples and even honeymooners.

IZE's dining rivals any restaurant in Belize. From poached snapper with mustard sauce to coconut pie, their cooks have achieved the perfect balance of local cuisine and gourmet specialties. IZE serves only the best fresh fruit, fresh baked breads, and fresh local seafood.

Although you can book IZE directly, we recommend that you book it through Belize Flats Fishing Expeditions. Richard French will make sure your lodging and fishing needs are both met.

Blue Marlin

The Blue Marlin Lodge is a charming dive and fishing lodge in what can be argued is one of the most beautiful locations in Belize. The grounds occupy a sizable portion, from beachfront to lagoon, of a small, palm fringed, tropical coral island - Southwater Caye - sitting right on top of the Southern Belize Barrier Reef.

The property includes a lagoon-side dive storage shack and boat docks, a clubhouse restaurant, bar and deck. Guest Accommodations house up to 32 people and include two guest apartments with ten guest rooms, three domed cabins and three seaside cottages facing the trade winds. All guest rooms are cozy, cool and comfortable. The domed cabins are spacious and air-conditioned.
