San Pedro is the only town on Ambergris Caye and serves as the primary tourism hub for Belize. Originally founded in 1848 by Mestizo refugees fleeing the Caste War of Yucatán, the settlement transformed from a quiet fishing village into a bustling resort destination. The town is situated directly adjacent to the Belize Barrier Reef, the second-largest reef system in the world, making it a world-class site for scuba diving and snorkeling. A unique characteristic of San Pedro is its transportation system, which relies almost exclusively on golf carts rather than traditional cars. The town gained international fame through its association with the song 'La Isla Bonita' and retains a laid-back Caribbean charm despite its development. Nearby attractions include the Hol Chan Marine Reserve, renowned for its abundant marine life.
The most pleasant time to visit is Feb–Apr.
