Belize – A Fishing Paradise

                                                                                         

Belize vacations provide opportunities for world-class fishing. Spin, fly and troll fishing are available all year long and the abundance of game fish guarantees excellent sport.

River estuaries, inlets and mouths are known for their tarpon, snook and jacks. The lagoons and grass flats are known for bonefish and permit. The coral reefs support grouper, snapper and barracuda while deeper waters off the drop off are home to sailfish, marlin and bonito.

Belize’s biggest draw for anglers is fly-fishing on the outer atoll flats for permit and the elusive bonefish, known for its feisty spirit and crafty ways. Ambergris Caye, the largest island off the coast, is one of the best locations for fishing permit and bonefish. The extensive flats, a fifteen minute boat ride from shore, are picture perfect with shallow waters (two to six feet deep) and a whiter than normal sand bottom. Ambergris Caye also boasts some of the best fishing guides in the country along with plenty of charter boats.

After a day on the water, fishing enthusiasts can return to accommodations of their choice ranging from guest houses to fishing lodges to resorts. One of the most attractive Belize resorts is La Perla del Caribe, a stunning nine-villa enclave, set on four acres on the beach. With two, three, four and five bedroom villas ranging from 2,200 square feet to 5,500 square feet, La Perla del Caribe offers exotic barefoot luxury in a secluded setting, minutes away from bustling San Pedro Town.

In fact, La Perla has more to attract fishing aficionados. Because bonefish can be caught right in front of the resort, there’s no need to go offshore. La Perla can also arrange for the services of Mario Graniel, one of the best and most experienced fishing guides in Ambergris Caye.
