Ambergris Caye is the largest and most populated island situated just off the coast of Belize. The island's coastline is protected by the barrier reef making it a great place to go scuba diving, snorkelling or fishing. Once a fishing village, San Pedro is now one of the most popular tourist destinations in Belize, and the only inhabited town on the island San Pedro. As such it offers a quaint taste of traditional Belizean culture and lifestyle. Mexican and Caribbean style buildings mix with colonial English architecture along the streets of the town. Adapting to its status as a tourist destination, there are several bars, restaurants, cafes, shops and hotels on offer. Considered a high-end area, Ambergris Caye is very popular with investors and those shrewd enough to have entered the market 20 years ago have watched prices triple.
