AMBERGRIS CAYE : East of the caye lies the Belize Barrier Reef which continues some 190 miles along the length of the country of Belize. On the far north tip of Ambergris Caye at a place called Mexico Rocks the reef almost touches land.
On the west lies the San Pedro Lagoon which is connected to the Caribean Sea by a small saltwater
river running east to west about two miles from the center
of San Pedro town.
Visitors came to enjoy sandy beaches, breathtaking waters
and the unique hospitality of its inhabitants. With a present
day population of approximately 7,000 in the town of San Pedro plus the island's enchanting combination of mangrove forests, tropical savannahs, lagoons, and sparkling white beaches, it
is no wonder that this island has become Belize's most popular tourist destination.

Early this century, the fishing industry was the island's number
one income earner. Beginning in the 1970's the fishing industry
gradually slipped on the backburner when the islanders realized
that their isla bonita (beautiful island) was attracting a steady flow
of visitors who came to enjoy sandy beaches, breathtaking waters
and the unique hospitality of its inhabitants. With a present day
population of approximately 7,000 in the town of San Pedro plus
the island's enchanting combination of mangrove forests, tropical

Sixteen miles of natural sandy beach, a virgin mangrove-fringed
lagoon, a wonderland of coral-studded cayes, nearby jungle rivers
and pristine rainforest Garifuna, Creole and Mayan cultures and
ancient Mayan ruinsmake Placencia the ideal location for the
adventure traveler!
