i left my kids home too. there isnt anything much for them to do.
look here for beach photos of the north end: //ambergriscaye.com/jane
no, you cant swim from the beach. you can kayak out & snorkel from where we were. they are very nice beaches to sit on and stare at the seabirds. pretty.

I don't snorkel, but I really enjoyed swimming off both the docks and beaches...I thought the water was clean, and not too much seaweed if you swin out al little. Just watch out for boats.

We stayed at Banyan Bay in January for a week and had a spectacular time! We had a beach front unit and went swimming in the ocean everyday, though not much to see snorkeling. The unit next to us was a family with an 8 & 11 yr old and they seemed to have a great time. The pool at Banyan Bay was one of the best on the island. They also have a dive shop that can arrange any kind of trip you want to do - snorkeling, Mayan tours, sailing, etc. I think it's a great place for kids - they all love riding around in the golf carts, snorkeling, sailing and the beach barbecues! We found Ambergris Caye to be very safe and friendly and can't wait to return next year. Hope this helps you with your decision.

We went to AC last September for a week, our first visit of many,we are sure.Plan to go back this September.A beautiful beach is one of our top priorties as well.We have also been to the Moon Palace and were disappointed with their beach.If you are looking for the great beaches of Cancun or Playa del Carmen, they are not on AC.We knew this prior to going,and went more for the experience of the town,people, etc than the beaches.We also made sure we stayed at a hotel with a pool,as we knew the beaches were not that great.We vacation twice a year, so we go somewhere with great beaches in January or February. We love AC,and think your children will also. Lots for them to do, and it is very safe..the most friendly people EVER! We don't dive, snorkel or tour..we just go to swim,read, sun,and veg. We did swim off the docks, as mentioned, and the water is wonderful. I'm sure there are areas where you can just "walk in the water", but you couldn't where we were..too many boats and retaining walls. Just depends on what you are looking for, but loving a wonderful beach as I do, if that is a biggie for you, AC is not it. However, our trip in January was to Punta Cana, which has the most beautiful beach I have ever seen, but the service and food was horrible! So, you never know. Just enjoy!
