Ranguana Caye is a two-acre private island located roughly 20 miles west of Placencia. According to Peter Eltringham, author of The Rough Guide to Belize, Ranguana Caye has sand softer in comparison to Placencia with taller palm trees.[1] Those exploring the caye are required to set up transportation through private boat charters.[2] The island includes a dock and moorings for visiting boats, located just off the Belize Barrier Reef.[3] A day tour to the island is through Belize Ocean Club, a resort located in Maya Beach Village near Placencia and managed by Muy'Ono Properties.[4] Ranguana Caye also features three rustic cabanas for overnight guests, with Bully's Beach Bar, a BBQ grill and composting restroom systems for guests. The resort has no pay phones, but features wifi and radio communication.[5] Snorkeling the Belize Barrier Reef and reef fishing are also some activities on the island.
History[]
With the 17th-century origins of Belize being two different myths, it is said that Ranguana Caye formally called Cayo Renegado, was "the base of the 'renegade' Spaniard Diego el Mulato."[6]
