Highlights
Ambergris Caye
The largest of all the Cayes, Ambergris Caye is renowned for its beaches and proximity to the coral reef. From here you can indulge any water sport you can imagine; Sport fishing, scuba diving, snorkeling and manatee watching are among the most popular. San Pedro, the Caye's hub, offers a fantastic variety of accommodations, restaurants, bars and nightlife. For a change of pace and scenery, the bay side of the Caye is a great place to get acquainted with Belizean bird life. Ambergris Caye was a favorite hiding place of English pirates during the 17th century. In the mid-18th century, refugees fleeing civil war in the Yucatan Peninsula migrated to Ambergris Caye. Tourists began visiting Ambergris in small numbers in the early 1960's and it is now a favourite destination for many travelers.
