Dangriga

Dangriga, the largest town in southern Belize, is the centre of the Garifuna culture – people of mixed Carib Amerindian and African descent who sought refuge in Belize from St Vincent in 1893. It is ideal as a base for visits to Cockscomb Reserve with its good walking trails, and offshore islands and atolls including South Water Cay, and Lighthouse Reef and Glovers Reef – both atolls offering superb diving. Dangriga is home to Pelican Beach Resort’s mainland hotel, and ideal jumping off point for their hotel on idyllic South Water Caye.
