Way back in the 1980s, Madonna sang about a beautiful island with a tropical island breeze. The island she sang about isn't fictional, though. It really does exist and consistently appears on lists of the world's most idyllic destinations. If you want to enjoy a piece of this paradise too, simply book one of the San Pedro Belize rentals available and get ready for an unforgettable Caribbean break.
Located near the southern tip of Ambergris Caye, San Pedro used to be a sleepy fishing village. Such a beautiful place could not be kept under wraps for long, though, and today it's not only the island's main settlement but one of the most popular destinations in Belize. In spite of the tourism development here, the town remains small and relaxed with a certain Caribbean charm.
The top activity on the island is diving. There are several dive shops in town that offer PADI courses and guided dive trips. A great dive site not too far away is Hol Chan Marine Reserve, where it's possible to frolic among the stingrays and harmless sharks. Facing the town there is also a reef that's perfect for snorkeling. The water is clear and visibility is excellent.
There are many activities for those who prefer to literally keep head above water too. Try chartering a boat for the day and go sailing the Caribbean waters or try your hand at fishing. Alternatively, go windsurfing or even kite-surfing or simply bathe in the warm waters. The beaches are normally quite small but an abundance of wooden piers means that you'll never run out of places where you can work on your suntan.
The little island town's convenient location makes it easy to visit other parts of Belize, whether you want a weekend getaway or just a quick day trip. Among the mainland's many attractions are mystical Mayan ruins and various wildlife sanctuaries. Among the other islands to explore is Caye Caulkner, famous for its lobster. For the ultimate diving experience, consider a trip to the Blue Hole.
Even though San Pedro is small, it has all the amenities a visitor may want. There's a huge selection of restaurants and you'll also find plenty of supermarkets and shops where you can stock up on provisions if you'd rather self-cater. The nightlife is bustling pretty much every night of the week and beachside bars are just the place to go to quench your thirst with a rum-based cocktail.
Getting to the island is easy. You can fly in by light airplane from Belize City or take a boat instead. There are also boat connections to Caye Caulkner and several other popular destinations. The subtropical climate means that it's a year-round destination, but January to March is peak season because it's a little less humid.
The most widely spoken language on Ambergris Caye is English. You'll also hear Spanish and Kriol. Accommodation is plentiful and there are options for different budgets. It's good to book well in advance, though, to ensure you get the specific slice of heaven that you want.
