The outside flats affiliated with many of these cayes tend to be gently sloping off into deeper water allowing permit to be found at all tidal stages. These include such notable fishing grounds as Mojo Caye, Wild Cane Caye and the Snake Cayes.

From the riverside marina, Belcampo boats run 15 minutes down the Rio Grande to enter the Gulf of Honduras.
