i was at caribe island during that same time, mid-june, and the sea grass was raked everyday, and no smell at all. pretty stretch of beach there. as secluded as sundiver, but no water-taxis to deal with (i didnt like that about JE, alos up north. thought they were a pain).

We stayed at Banyan Bay the end of June, and there was no problem with the smell of sea grass. We had a beach front suite and thoroughly enjoyed it. I don't know about a wedding however as the beach is rather small although quite pretty. A small wedding would work quite nicely. Congratulations in advance.

Sweet Jane -a few weeks ago the turtle grass was really bad everywhere this was due to bad weather conditions in the Atlantic-your advice hinges on the 10 days you have spent on the island this year,and advising people to stay somewhere else when they have already booked at another resort is asinine
I walk my dog past Banyan Bay almost every day and the beach looks and smells fine-no worries there.
Also the local non-denominational pastor on the island,David Simpson,works at Banyan bay and is,would you believe it,in charge of weddings at BB.

Pedro-A white shepard type dog?

The entire coastline was plagued by the sea grass/weed last month, an unusual occurance to be sure. Stunk as far down in Placencia as well. Done now.

That is Charlie who is not a white shepherd but a Mexican White.
I will explain Charlie was bought in Mexico and she is white.

Banyan Bay is on one of the nicest parts of the beach on the south end of the island, its called the Mar De Tumbo near the neighborhood called San Telmo. Its a beautiful spot, nice grounds, and there is a cut in the reef near there that allows sea shells to come up to the beach occassionally. Hope your wedding day is fabulous!

From Chetumal? Same litter or family as Billy Valdes has? Trying to track them down.

I bought her at the pet shop in Chetumal which is opposite the old market.

Sweet Jane;

If you were on Ambergris Caye during that very freakish seaweed episode there is NO WAY the beach at Caribe Island wouldn't have smelled of it. It was a most unusual occurrence. Every single beachfront property had the "scent", even those that were raked every HOUR. I like Caribe Island too, but I wouldn't say they were capable of the impossible!

And, just to confirm, the beach at Banyan Bay is one of the nicest. On Sundays it is busy with locals having fun. On other days it is clean, quiet and has good swimming.
