The island once was home to laughing gulls. However, with increased human traffic, the gulls have moved to another island. Laughing Bird Caye was designated a protected southwest gas jobs area in 1981 and a national park in 1991 in the hope that the birds would return. Since the park has been established, camping has been abolished and mooring buoys have been secured to avoid boat damage to coral. There is a charge of $4 to enter the park.
Cheers Restaurant, Mile 31, Western Highway, 614-9311, $, west of the zoo by about three miles, is the closest place to eat. I had heard high praise of this restaurant and knew it was haunted by expats so I assumed it was good. When I got there, I think they accidentally served me a tough old rooster instead of a younger chicken. The restaurant is open-air and it has a small gift shop.
