called Island Camps. It features six single-, double-or triple-occupancy cabins on the beach along the west side of the island. Each has a fan, private bath, electricity from solar panels and a rain-water shower. During high season, the cost is US $80 for a single, US $120 for doubles and US $180 for triples. This includes all your meals and transportation from and to Dangriga. During low season the prices are about 75% lower.
There is an interesting artifact found close to town. In 1976 a Lockheed Super Constellation plane, originally built in 1958, was flying from Mexico to Guatemala City when it ran into trouble. Propeller #1 fell off and struck engine #2. This caused the engine to run out of control so the pilot, one of three on board, decided to land in Belize City. However, the wheels wouldn t come all the way down, so the plane skidded on its belly past the edge of the runway. It was not a good day. All three pilots were killed. There were no passengers on board.
