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 main reason for many people to come to Ambergris Caye is for the excellent diving here. There are many dive shops in town and you'll even be able to get your open-water certification here. The Hol Chan Marine Reserve is located just a couple of miles to the south and here you can swim with stingrays and nurse sharks. There are some prime snorkeling spots as well, for instance on the reef facing town.
The island's beaches are beautiful and white but are normally quite narrow. Luckily there are piers jutting out into the water every hundred yards or so and you're sure to find the perfect spot for kicking back and relaxing by the water's edge. Cool down by taking a dip in the crystalline water and if you want some activity, try out some of the many water-sports on offer, including windsurfing. You may also want to charter a boat for a bit of sailing or fishing.
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.
As a tourist town, San Pedro has a good selection of bars and restaurants where you will find sustenance. There is a bustling nightlife too and plenty of live entertainment at night. If you want a quiet night in, simply pick up provisions and a bottle of rum from one of the local supermarkets or stores.
High season is between January and March, when the humidity drops to more comfortable levels. However, any time of year is a great time to visit. Even in rainy season you're likely to experience sunny mornings with showers mainly in the afternoon. Fly in to Belize City and then hop on a light aircraft or take the boat. There are boat connections to several other destinations in Belize too.
One of the great things about choosing the islands of Belize as a holiday destination is that you get the sense of the exotic without having to worry too much about learning another language. English is the main language but most people can also speak Spanish and, for that Caribbean twist, Kriol. Accommodation is easy to find too, with options for every kind of budget. A rental apartment or villa is perfect, especially since you may find that you want to stay just a little longer.
