Celebrating World Ocean Day at Ray Caye and Belize

Today, we commemorate World Ocean Day, an event dear to our hearts here at Ray Caye Island Resort. It’s a special occasion that underscores the vital role the world’s oceans play in our everyday lives and the urgency of preserving these majestic resources. Our Belize location and the commitment to conservation that permeates everything we do make us the perfect place to honor this day. We invite you to celebrate with us and immerse yourself in the vibrant marine environment that surrounds our resort and the magnificent country of Belize.

Belize and its Oceanic Wonder – An Emblem of World Ocean Day

The Belize coast, a shining gem of Central America, is home to the Belize Barrier Reef, a segment of the vast Mesoamerican Barrier Reef System. Our country prides itself on this vibrant and diverse ecosystem, a treasured UNESCO World Heritage Site, and the centerpiece of our commitment to marine preservation.

Today, we encourage you to take a deep dive into the aquatic wonderland that Belize offers. The reef, with its hundreds of coral and fish species, promises unparalleled snorkeling and scuba diving experiences. Marvel at the Great Blue Hole, an underwater sinkhole famous worldwide, or swim with stingrays, sharks, and even manatees in their natural habitat.

Belize’s conservation initiatives align perfectly with the spirit of World Ocean Day. As a visitor, you have the opportunity to partake in educational tours, help with mangrove reforestation projects, and contribute to coral reef monitoring programs, all while basking in the breathtaking beauty of our waters.

Ray Caye Island Resort – A Sustainable Paradise for World Ocean Day

Situated a mere 18 miles east off the Placencia coast, our very own Ray Caye Island Resort emerges from the cerulean Caribbean Sea. At Ray Caye, we’ve always strived to coexist harmoniously with nature, making sustainability our mainstay. The renewable energy systems, the rainwater collection infrastructure, and our on-island organic garden stand as testaments to our eco-friendly ethos.

Embrace the spirit of World Ocean Day with a deep dive into the clear waters surrounding the resort, revealing a coral reef filled with enchanting marine life. Try your hand at fishing off the island’s coast, or embark on guided snorkeling and scuba diving excursions that bring you face-to-face with the wondrous creatures of Belize’s seas.
