Just a short 15 minutes flight from Belize City or if you prefer a  1 1/2 boat ride and you arrive at San Pedro, Ambergris Caye.  Its  the largest and most popular Caye (pronounce as "Key") in Belize and has been rated as a top beach destination in the world by millions of Trip Advisor travellers from around the globe.   It is a mile or so long and encompasses only a few street blocks (front, middle, back street). Most of the houses are wooden with zinc roofed houses. San Pedro town is the heart of Ambergris Caye and offers a wide range of Belize Adventure Tours, restaurants, bars, souvenir shops, and banks. Since the airstrip is also located in town, most resorts and hotels are only a hop, skip & a jump away.
