Rocky Point Canyons
Protected Area
Rocky Point, Ambergris Caye
Why dive here
With 192+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, dolphins, lemon sharks, nurse sharks and sea turtles - Rocky Point Canyons offers some of Ambergris Caye's richest reef diving. Water ranges 27-31°C, warmest August, September, October.
Rocky Point Canyons sits off Ambergris Caye, offering a distinct change from the typical coral formations found elsewhere. Here, the landscape is defined by impressive rocky channels and swim-throughs, carved by millennia of currents. It’s a site for those who appreciate geological features as much as marine life, though you'll still spot plenty of reef fish sheltering in the crevices. We'd suggest it for divers looking for something a bit different, where the structure itself is the star of the show.
