The island's biggest tourist attraction is the Belize Barrier Reef that runs parallel along the entire coast, it's reef is only a quarter mile from the beach of Ambergris Caye making diving easily accessible. The seaside is crammed with jetties and dive shops that offer trips to the different dive sites, one of the most popular sites is the Hol Chan Marine Reserve, which is only a ten minute boat ride from town. The reef's beauty and richness has put Belize among the top ten dive destinations in the world.
Evenings are a social event, you'll find tourists and islanders at the different bars and restaurants listening to Reggae and Latin music and sharing the day's adventures. The people of the island are called "Sanpedranos" and speak English, Spanish, Creole, and Maya all at the same time, making it their own island dialect. They are proud of their heritage and are willing to share it with the tourists.

Ambergris Caye ( pronounced Am-BUR-gris or Am-BUR-grease Key ) is the largest of some 200 cayes that dot the coastline of Belize , located in the clear shallow waters of the Caribbean Sea just off the tip of Mexico 's Yucatan Peninsula . In Mayan times it was a trading post The Marco Gonzalez ruins at the southern tip of the caye and the Basil Jones site to the north, as well as the many recently excavated "home sites" in the heart of San Pedro Town give evidence to a former Maya population of 10,000. The narrow channel that separates Mexico and Belize was dug by the Maya to provide a trade route from the bay of Chetumal to the Caribbean. San Pedro Town is the only inhabited area on the island. It's atmosphere is that of a small bustling fishing village, clustered with wooden houses. Gift shops, boutiques, bars, cafes, and restaurants adorn Front And Middle streets (now named Barrier Reef Drive/Pescador Drive). A short walk in town will make you feel the friendliness of the people and enjoy their lifestyles as they go around doing their daily chores. Bare feet, tee-shirts, and shorts is the typical island dress code.
