Things to do on Ambergris Caye (Island)

Walk to both ends of the island by beach and/or by road.

Get a local paper at the supermarket, check at night life and local entertainment.

Many Resorts have live bands or singers on different nights.



Wednesday: Mickey’s has lunch special, starting at 11:00 on burritos for $5. you get a huge burrito, either chicken, beef or combination. Don’t be late, they’ve been known to run out.

World’s Famous Chicken Drop at 4:30 Pier Lounge on Front Street
Also, BBQ Beach Party at Celi’s next to Holiday Hotel

Local Night Clubs:

Fido’s
Big Daddy’s
Barefoot Iguana
Jaquars Temple



Casino: Palace Casino (NOT like Vegas)

Rent a golf cart, go to north side of island over the cut. Take the man pulled barge. There is a charge of $5 ( I think). Have lunch at “Sweet Basil”. Get back before dark. I think thry built a bridge this summer.

Rent golf cart and drive to the south end of the island and to the lagoon. Just avoid anyone offering to sell you anything illegal.

Take a water taxi to Captain Morgan’s or Capricorn for a romantic dinner. Call for reservations and they will send water taxi to BYC pier.

THINGS OF INTEREST:

Ask locals where to see the 8-10 foot Crocodile in the lake.

Walk to the back of island and see Lagoon

“Pizano “: Old man about town, who came to San Pedro as a millionaire and loss everything on drugs. Now he roams the beach selling Conch Shells.

Cemetery, like no other Cemetery you’ve ever seen.

MUST TOURS:

Shark Alley, Hol Chan Park, Mexico Rocks with lunch stops at either Caye Caulker (fishing village smaller than Ambergris Caye or Goff Caye (deserted island).

I SECOND THE REEF RESTRAUNT, WONDERFUL FOOD, EXCELLENT PRICES!

and for excellent chinese take out I second the Restraunt around the corner from the post office across from the bakery. It does not say "Master Lee's" outside so look for a yellow wall outside and a sign that says "King Fu" or "Kong Fu" or "Kang Fu" it is right next to Geovani's.

Thanks for such excellent feedback! One more question, who do you recommend for diving and/or land trips?
Only 2 more days and I can not wait!

AMIGOS DEL MAR, FORSURE. RIGHT IN TOWN, WILL PICK YOU UP AND DROP YOU OFF ANYWHERE YOU ARE STAYING, VERY PROFESSIONAL GUYS AND VERY FUN TO DIVE WITH. THE BEST.

I have read about Amigos Del Mar. We are staying at Belizean Shores, so that won't be any problem? Any dives sites in particular?
THANKS!

they pick up and drop off and belizean shores. EXCELLENT dive guides, they will take you to the best places depending on the time you are here.

We are going to be there Tuesday 11th- Tuesday 18th of October!
Thanks!

Caicos -- Got back from B.S. 3 weeks ago -- you'll love it. When going into town, try to hitch rides from the resort boat that usually goes into town at 11:00 -- you'll avoid some taxi fare that way.

have fun and tell Leo at the pool bar to fix you a "special" Pina Colada like he did for the Ohio folks a couple weeks ago.

or rent bikes, so fun. Joe's bikes rents for around $25 US for 5 days. Fun bike ride to town.
