Scipio Caye
5 acres - Sold
Scipio Caye is one of the most naturally beautiful islands in Belize. Located 5 miles east of Placencia, this is a solid coral based island with a sandy beach well over 100 yards long. The shape of the island creates a wide area for safe boat anchorage. The water surrounding the island is crystal clear with fantastic visibility. Just off the southwestern shore lies a favorite snorkeling area for locals and some tourist excursions. Scuba diving is spectacular just off the eastern shore. The island is high in elevation and well protected by a solid coral base and coral shore line along the western side. This island was in the path of Hurricane Iris but you'd never know it except for a few remaining dead trees standing in some areas of the island. Towering coconut palms are all over the island producing coconuts consistently. There are several local fisherman that are camping on the island and have agreed to vacate or stay on as tenants once a new owner takes possession. These people have acted as caretakers of the island and have kept it in good condition with minimal jungle overgrowth. There are no low spots on this island to speak of. Some areas of standing rainwater will accumulate during the wettest times but it is otherwise completely dry. This is not only one of the most beautiful islands in Belize, it's also a terrific value.
