Lighthouse Reef Resort is located at the northern end of Lighthouse Reef. Local dive sites are good, but the dive sites around the two southern cays, Long Cay and Half Moon Cay, are outstanding. The latter offer wall tops with lots of structure (sand channels, crevasses, swim-throughs, etc.) and lots of reef fish, including large snappers, groupers, morays, lobsters and triggerfish. Blue Hole, about midway between the resort and the southern cays, is remarkable but, IMHO, not worth more than the one dive we did there. The resort staff were uniformly cheerful, helpful, and competent. Food ranged from quite good to excellent. Rooms were spacious and air-coditioned. The location features a beautiful white sand beach running along its entire frontage. |
