Ambergris Caye Description
Of the some 200 cayes that dot the coast of Belize, Ambergris Caye is the largest. Ambergris is 25mi/40km long and a little over 1mi/1.6km wide in some places, and is located in the clear shallow waters of the Caribbean Sea just off the tip of Mexico's Yucatán Peninsula. Most of the island's 4,500 residents live in the town of San Pedro, near the southern tip of the island. The people of the island are called "Sanpedranos" and speak English, Spanish, Creole, and Maya all at the same time, creating their own island dialect.

Since Ambergris Caye's coastline is protected by the Barrier Reef, the island is good for all water sports. Several nearby snorkeling and scuba sites offer excellent opportunities for coral and marine life viewing
