Rare Lupush Posted May 21, 2019 #1 Share Posted May 21, 2019 Hi CC Family, I haven't been to Harvest Caye since Feb 2018, and was wondering for those who have been lately how the water was? Last time we were there it was kind of murky and not nearly as blue and inviting as I would have hoped. We'll be there on Breakaway July 4th week and am hoping it will be a little better. Can anyone share any recent experiences? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meltingmoments Posted May 21, 2019 #2 Share Posted May 21, 2019 Hi there, we visited Harvest Caye in April and whilst the water wasn't murky, what we DID notice was it was very difficult to walk into the sea. The sand is extremely hard and uncomfortable on bare feet. It is also very uneven and even right at the shore's edge, goes up and down badly. Then again, I have joint issues, so feel things more easily, but no, don't recall the water being murky. Enjoy your trip! 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
napper777 Posted May 22, 2019 #3 Share Posted May 22, 2019 (edited) Also beware of jellyfish. We've been there when we were told not to go in because of them. Edited May 22, 2019 by napper777 Typo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harvest Caye is really not a great place for snorkeling. And, like GSC, is a man made beach. It really hasn't changed in a year. The link below starting at post #159 is from our trip in August. We enjoyed swimming a bit in the ocean, then getting a drink in the pool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loudsilence99 Posted May 23, 2019 #9 Share Posted May 23, 2019 We went in August 2018 and it was lovely. It wasn't as blue and perfect as some other ports but it wasn't as bad as people described it to me. It was raining the day we were there and it felt super warm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TPgal Posted May 23, 2019 #10 Share Posted May 23, 2019 We were there in April, and I concur that the water was not the crystal clear or bright blue water that one might hope to find on a Caye in Belize. Our water shoes were REQUIRED to protect our feet. When standing, still (at waist deep) we could see our feet, but walking around stirred up the sand and made the water murky. With that said, it was a fun day of swimming and playing. I'd go back... There wasn't much seaweed in the water, but I could tell that the staff had "swept" the beach before our arrival so they must have to do regular maintenance to keep it "beachy".

Thats good to know they are doing some upkeep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
