San Pedro

San Pedro – on the southern coast of Ambergris Caye, Belize – was the inspiration for Madonna’s chart-topping hit, La Isla Bonita (The Beautiful Island) and it is easy to see why. The days pass by here in a blissful haze of sea and sunshine – relaxing on idyllic beaches, taking boat trips, or exploring the region’s rich marine environment on a snorkelling or scuba diving trip. Stellar dive sites include the Hol Chan Marine Reserve, with its exquisite corals, brightly coloured fish, sea turtles and nurse sharks, and Mexico Rocks – an excellent snorkelling spot where you may see exotic species such as moray eels, lionfish and sting rays.
