Ranguana Caye, Belize in 2016.

Ranguana Caye is a private island with a total area of two acres, approximately 20 miles west of Placencia, Belize.[1] The island harbours a dock and moorings for visiting boats which is located just off the Belize Barrier Reef.[2] Tours are available through the Belize Ocean Club, a resort located in Maya Beach Village near Placencia and managed by Muy'Ono Properties.[3] Snorkeling and reef fishing are also some activities available on the island.

History

With the 17th-century origins of Belize traced back to two different myths, it is potentially believed that Ranguana Caye formally called Cayo Renegado, was "the base of the 'renegade' " Spaniard Diego el Mulato."[4]
