A timeless, gentle hamlet with a mosaic of pastel wooden shops, food stands and spontaneous smiles. There are a number of interesting resorts, hotels and villas decorating the 28-mile palm fringed shoreline of Ambergris Caye. Sun-drenched beaches run almost parallel to the famous barrier reef, less than a half mile offshore. Magnificent coral formations create a solid wall of sheer underwater pleasure. Protecting the windward side of the island, the reef provides endless opportunities for divers and snorkelers alike.
Dive boats are available for the day, and qualified instruction can be arranged.
One of the most popular dive sites is in the Hol Chan Marine Preserve. The coral is thick and rich in color, and graced with a never-ending parade of fish and other marine life. The shallow waters make for an easy dive or snorkel, and it is only a few minutes from shore. Upon arrival in Belize City, transfer by air to San Pedro, Ambergris Caye for four night's accommodations at your choice of several properties. Relax on the beach, tour the island by bike, take advantage of fabulous fishing, snorkeling, scuba diving, horseback riding, or bird watching.
