5. The Great Blue Hole, Belize
Encircled by an atoll, this big, cylindrical sinkhole just 60 miles off Belize’s coast, is said to blink like an enormous eye from beneath the waves. It is 122 meters deep and 304 meters wide. Thus, it is one of the largest submarine sinkholes in the world. Famous explorer Jacques Cousteau made it famous when he filmed it back in the 1970s. Today it is an official UNESCO World Heritage Site.

This 120-mile-long trail runs from Key Largo to Key West. It’s highlighted by wrecks of military ships and even ancient Spanish galleons.

The oldest one is the San Pedro, which was once part of a Spanish treasure fleet in 1733.
