+ Add a Photo

By Christopher Minster

Originally a logging camp, the small town of Gales Point is one of Belize’s growing tourist draws. Located about 25 miles south of Belize City, Gales point sits on a salty, brackish lagoon. It is the lagoon that is the big attraction, as it is teeming with life: sport fish, crabs, lobsters and more all in a sort of mangrove swamp. The real stars are the manatees, which float around grazing underwater. The area is also a very important nesting ground for the Hawksbill and Loggerhead turtles.
