Ambergris Caye is the largest island in the Caribbean country of Belize. The major attraction here is the barrier reef, which is located just half a mile off the coast. Since the reef is so close, it is a great spot for snorkelling and scuba diving. Other water activities also beckon tourists - you can try windsurfing, fishing or scuba diving. A popular scuba diving site at Ambergris Caye’s southern end is Hol Chan Marine Reserve. For some thrills, you can even swim with a school of nurse sharks at Shark Ray Alley. For a fun time, catch a sports game on TV at Palapa Bar & Grill while sipping on cocktails.
If you’re into water, fun and sun, you will love Ambergris Caye. To enjoy all the delights, plan a long vacation here. For your stay, check out the top long-term rentals in Ambergris Caye, Belize.
