About Long Caye Outpost Lodge
Belize River Lodge is now operating a private camp on Long Caye in Central Belize, catering to anglers & non-angling R&R, eco-tour guests. Now called BRL’s Long Caye Outpost Lodge, this resort has most of the amenities we are known for, along with the excellent service and tasty cuisine in beautiful idyllic scenery.
BRL’s island resort sits on the front of Long Caye overlooking Belize’s Barrier Reef and offers spectacular views of the sparking blue-green waters of the Caribbean Sea. BRL’s Long Caye Outpost’s neighbor’s Caye Chapel and is less than a 10 minute boat ride from St. George’s Caye and Miami Beach and about 20 minutes from Caye Caulker. The Long Caye Island Resort provides the perfect get-away-from-it-all vacation.
Long Caye Fishing
If you have fished with us before, or if you know the area, you know that Long Caye is one of the best fishing areas in Belize with a wide variety of species available – Tarpon, Snook, Bonefish and Permit, along with Tripletail, Ladyfish, Jacks, Barracuda and many others; all only 5 minutes away from BRL’s Long Caye Outpost Lodge.
As with fishing from the main Lodge, BRL’s guides fish long hours AND as the Outpost sits in some of Belize’s best fishing waters you have a choice of your fishing day, fish early and/or fish late. You can start off early, come back to the island for lunch or “slack tides”, take a “siesta”, then fish late into the evening and come back to the island at the end of your fishing day. Or, you can leave after breakfast, take a packed lunch, and fish all day, then come back to the island in the late afternoon. Either choice ends after a long day of fishing, and with you watching the stunning beauty of a sunset, the oranges and reds overlapping the turquoise jeweled tones of the Caribbean Sea, while telling the tales of your day, enjoying appetizers in an extremely beautiful setting.
Before or after a day of fishing, or if you get “antsy” while on the island on your first day, or can’t get enough fishing, there are beach fishing options. Bonefish and Permit are found on a hard sand spit, right in front of the Island Resort, so just walk on out and catch a few fish.
If you are a group looking to get away from it all or a non-fishing spouse or someone who likes to fish only a half day, then BRL’s Long Caye Outpost Lodge is a great choice as it is on the beach. While relaxing part of the day, you can also schedule a snorkel at the Barrier Reef. Visiting neighboring islands is also an option, and we can “run” you to Caye Caulker, so that part of their day is spent exploring the village and souvenir shops. For the R&R/Eco-Tourist, any of our water tours are offered while staying on the island – Snorkeling, Manatee watching, Miami Beach and St George’s Caye, all are within easy boat distance of Belize River Lodge’s Long Caye Island Resort.
