Cayes
The
Caribbean coast of Belize is all lined with a
coral reef and some 450 islets and islands known locally as Cayes,
with their total territory of about 690 square kilometers (270 sq mi). The
word Caye means the island and is derived from Spanish "cayo". All the Belize
cayes form Belize Barrier Reef, 320-kilometre
long, and the longest in the Western Hemisphere. Find out more about Belize
