Ambergris Caye
Sun drenched and fringed with coconut palms, Ambergris Caye is the largest of Belize's over 200 Cayes. Only a stones throw from Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula, the narrow Bacalar Chica channel dug by the ancient Maya separates it. Known as "La Isla Bonita", the island is filled with Caribbean charm. San Pedro, the main town, is a delightful blend of the Caribbean with a touch of Mexico and a dash of old Key West. Sandy streets are lined with small hotels, boutiques, dive stores and full menu of places to eat and drink.
Your Tranquility Bay experience will begin upon your arrival at the San Pedro Airport. We will greet you and transport you to Tranquility Bay by boat.

Ambergris Caye stretches north to south just one half mile inside, and parallel to, Belize's magnificent Barrier Reef. The Island extends for more than 30 miles. The Island's eastern side is fringed with beach and faces the nearby reef. The western shore, laced with Mangrove, is rich with wildlife. A visit to the Belize Barrier Reef opens the door to a fascinating underwater world. The waters, both inside and outside the Barrier Reef offer world class fishing, snorkeling and diving. The steady trade winds provide for excellent sailing and windsurfing.
Ambergris Caye is the diving and snorkeling capital of Belize. The Hol Chan National Marine Preserve lies just outside San Pedro. There, schools of tropical fish burst into Technicolor clouds. At Shark-Ray Alley, you can swim with nurse sharks and eagle rays. The new Bacalar Chica National Marine Park and the United Nations World Heritage Site, begins 12 miles north of San Pedro.
On shore the local people are outgoing and very friendly. Numerous restaurants and bars are available for relaxation. There is a lively nightlife. The local motto is "No Shoes, No Shirt, No Problem".
