Sapodilla Coral

At the very end of the Belize Barrier Reef, the reef turns northward and ends rather abruptly at Seal Caye.

Within throwing distance of that small caye lays a circular reef system which, for my dollar to date, rivals any other reef I've seen.

We regularly visited the reef with our friends aboard a 47 foot catamaran called Two If By Sea and discovered that we could anchor the boat in twelve feet of perfect coral sand at the bow, and the stern would be sitting over eighty feet of water. A perfect mini wall.

The photo above is a beautiful example of just how lush that reef is.
