Amatique Bay

Amatique Bay lies at the western end of the Gulf of Honduras, along the Caribbean shores of Guatemala and Belize. The Sarstún and Dulce rivers flow into the bay, bringing water from inland through wetlands and lagoons. Mangrove forests fringe its coast, and the Punta de Manabique peninsula shelters it from the wider gulf. Rivers, channels and shallow coastal waters form an interconnected landscape around the bay.
