Set on Ambergris Caye, San Pedro is Belize's premier island town, fringed by turquoise water and the Belize Barrier Reef. Golf carts, beach bars, and world-class diving define its laid-back vibe.
Getting around
Golf carts, bicycles, and walking are the main ways to get around the small island. Water taxis connect to Caye Caulker and the mainland.
