One of the newest national parks in Belize, Laughing Bird Caye is located 13 miles southeast of Placencia Village in the Stann Creek District.

The caye was once home to a large colony of laughing gulls (larus artricilla), however the gulls have virtually abandoned their rookery because of growing human presence. Most have have moved to nearby undisturbed cayes for breeding.

Laughing Bird Caye's deep channels offer very good scuba diving and snorkeling opportunities. These activities can be enjoyed without disturbing birdlife on the caye.

The reserve is a popular destination for snorkel and dive trips from Placencia.

Visitors can also observe the birdlife from offshore.

There are no camping facilities on the caye. Some mooring buoys have been installed to prevent anchor damage to the surrounding reef. Private yachts and sea kayaks also use the site regularly.

There is one hiking trail through the center of the caye.
