Ambergris Caye is an island located off the mainland of the country of Belize. It can be reached either by a short 15 min plane ride or a 1.5 hour boat ride from Belize City.
It is 25 miles long from the southern tip to the cut that separates the island from Mexico. At its widest it is 4 miles across. Currently less that 1% of the land is developed.
The Barrier Reef is located about a half mile off shore making for a quick boat ride out to the dive sites in front of town.
San Pedro Town is located approximately 4 miles from the southern tip and is about a mile long.
Originally a small fishing village, the town has grown rapidly over the past years. While still maintaining that small village charm it now has most of the modern trappings and nightlife.
