Ranguana Caye is a private island with a total area of two acres, approximately 20 miles west of Placencia, Belize.[1] The island harbors a dock and moorings for visiting boats which is located just off the Belize Barrier Reef.[2] Daytime visits are available through RanguanaCaye.com, and you can spend a night in the cabins located there as well. The island features different activities like paddleboarding in crystal clear water, fishing, kayaking, hammock napping, sunbathing, and playing beach games. The Edge of Paradise Bar & Grill located at the front of the island offers a variety of food and drinks that are freshly made and served throughout the day
History
[edit]With the 17th-century origins of Belize traced back to two different myths, it is potentially believed [according to whom?] that Ranguana Caye formally called Cayo Renegado, was "the base of the 'renegade' " Spaniard Diego el Mulato."[3]
