Halfmoon Caye is a national park and has a bird sanctuary that is the home of the red-footed Booby. Between dives you can go ashore at Halfmoon Caye for lunch and a trip into the interior of the island to view the nesting site of the Booby and the Magnificent Frigate bird. Bring your telephoto lens with your camera for some excellent shots from the viewing platform located in the center of the sanctuary. During the months of March, April, and sometimes May, there are to be found down-covered baby Booby's in the nest. Large marine iguanas can be encountered on the trek back into the sanctuary. Halfmoon Caye is the only place where the Red-footed Boobies are found.
