Guided Adventures
Scuba Diving Adventures
Ambergris Caye, believe or not, is not the first choice of SCUBA diving devotees. For SCUBA think more of Turneffe Island, Light House Reef and the Blue Hole. But the Island offers easy access to some interesting dive spots. One of the more interesting is Palmeros Point, 12 miles north of the island. The reef starts off at 50 feet and then meanders through some small canyons before making a modest drop of 110 feet. This is described as one of the better dive spots close to Ambergris Caye and excellent for marine photography.
Other dive spots around Ambergris Caye include the Love Tunnel, so named because many people choose to get married underwater at this location. Divers launch from a canyon, and then glide to a cavern that has an opening in the roof that lets sunlight through. This is a drift dive that goes up to 80 feet underwater. Other dive spots of note in the area include Angle Flats, Eagle Ray Canyon and Cypress Garden.

Bacalar Chico Marine Reserve
Bacalar Chico is located on northern Ambergris Caye. It is a longish trip, a little over an hour, but frequent stops for places of interest make this a worthwhile tour. Bacalar Chico is within the Belize Barrier reef Reserve System World Heritage Site established in 1996. On the way to Bacalar Chico the visitor will find excellent snorkeling spots along the way and even a nature reserve, Cayo Iguanu that is a nesting area for the red-brown egret and the roseate spoonbill. The ranger station at San Juan offers some small Maya mounds to explore and a nature trail. The tour includes motoring through the channel that the ancient Maya cut through what was then the southernmost tip of Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula, creating Ambergris Caye and making it an island separate from the Mexican mainland.

Marco Gonzales Mayan Site
The Marcos Gonzales site, is situated on the island's south end, near Laguna de Boca Chica. These ruins, are currently still covered with dense jungle vegetation. They are estimated to be approximately 2,000 years old. It is believed that at its peak the ancient Maya civilization on Ambergris caye was about 20,000, Marco Gonzalez is one of 18 small Maya sites identified in the area. The site has seen significant re-construction, and it's definitely worth a visit, if you do not wish to travel to the mainland to see the more spectacular Mayan Ruins.
The site is currently open, although there has been no maintenance to the wood walkways. So please walk with care, look but no touchy, and be sure to take mosquito spray. Updated: November 30, 2020

Ambergris Caye Beaches (Facing the Belize Barrier Reef)
Everyone usually enjoys getting into the water on their vacation, but not all the beaches on Ambergris Caye (are what I would consider) nice relaxing clear beaches. Many of the beaches (on island), are getting hammered by the on slot of sargassum.

Ice-Cream Shops
DandE’s Frozen Custard & Sorbet - Pescador Street (660-5966)
The biggest question on everyone’s mind: What is frozen custard? Premium ice cream! The product is called custard because egg is one of many quality ingredients used to produce this unique type of ice cream. What sets DandE’s frozen desserts apart from all the rest. “Frozen custard is churned as it freezes, like old-fashioned, hand-cranked ice cream. The result is a creamy texture similar to soft butter. As a result of this process, frozen custard also weighs nearly twice as much as regular ice cream which is whipped with air. In the end, you get a denser, creamier product – so a pint, or 16 ounces, actually equals one pound.”
Location - Pescador Street (aka Middle Street), San Pedro, Ambergris Caye, Belize
Contact Information - Phone: 660-5966 Email dande@dande.bz
Manelly's Ice Cream - Barrier Reef Drive (206-2285)

Belize Chocolate Company (226-3015) https://www.facebook.com/BelizeChocolate/

We use 100% Belizean ingredients: cacao beans from the Toledo District, sugar from Orange Walk. We make a signature 70% dark chocolate, called Kakaw and add other Belizean ingredients to make different bars - including orange, cacao nibs, chili, and nibs.

Late Evening
Ambergris Caye Nightlife - With Ambergris Caye being the number one tourist destination for Belize, it's noted for having continuous non-stop entertainment every single night. The beaches are lined with bars and restaurants, of your choosing. The nighlife scene in San Pedro though, has recently changed dramatically. This is principally due to some new municipal regulations regarding noise pollution. Most bars are now only allowed to stay open until midnight. A few bars can open until later if they are enclosed or have a permit to stay open after midnight, but this is mostly on special occasions. Since things have recently changed so much, it's not as obvious which bars in San Pedro are "happening" anymore.
