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.

however bicycles, scooters, and some cars and vans are also available. The
streets are sandy and unpaved so be sure to leave your fancy clothes and high
heel shoes at home. There are no traffic lights, no freeways or highways, and
