About Laughing Bird caye
Laughing Bird Caye is a small island located off the coast of Placencia, Southern Belize. The island is a part of the Laughing Bird Caye National Park and is named after the laughing gulls that inhabit the area.
It is a popular destination for snorkeling and scuba diving due to the clarity of the water and the abundance of marine life, including tropical fish, rays, and sea turtles.
The park was established in 1991 to protect the island's diverse marine ecosystem and coral reefs, and it is an important site for conservation efforts in Belize.
