Things to Do  

Foodies Rejoice

Foodies Rejoice, San Pedro

 wreckloose Says:  Eating good food is one of my favorite things in life, so anytime I find spots worth recommending I do so with a great deal of pleasure. One such spot exists every night in the main square across the street from Jaguar's Temple Bar. Burritos, rice and stewed chicken, tacos... 

Snorkeling Hol Chan/Shark Alley

Snorkeling Hol Chan/Shark Alley, San Pedro

 HippieFur Says:  For about $30-40, including snorkel gear, park fees, and tour fee, you can snorkel for a half day.... Usually, they split it between Hol Chans A site, and the D site (shark alley).... Its incredible... We actually saw more sharks at the first stop, but at Shark alley, they...

Restaurants  

Caliente's

Caliente's, San Pedro

 1 Review  Caliente's is right on the beach, so you're able to eat your food and enjoy the sea at the same time. Everything on the menu is DELICIOUS!!!!! It's a family run restaurant and the staff is related in some way. The service is very laid back and they always have a smile on their face. As soon as you... 

Wade The Gringo Burgers: Best Burger in Belize

Wade The Gringo Burgers: Best Burger in Belize, San Pedro

 AverageGringo Says:  The burgers served at the Roadkill bar by Wade the Gringo are great. The bar is on the side of the road, with out door seating and ice cold beer Got to try the Big Gringo burger. A copy of the Big Mac, but so much better. The kids loved the Kids Meals. Burger, Fries and a... 

Capricorn: Just... wow

Capricorn: Just... wow, San Pedro

 wreckloose Says:  My girlfriend's sister used to live in San Pedro, and during that time became friend's with the owner of a restaurant/resort named Capricorn. When she suggested we eat there, we sort've balked at the idea because it was so far from where we were staying and because of how... 

Blue Water Grill: Seafood Delight

Blue Water Grill: Seafood Delight, San Pedro

 wreckloose Says:  The Blue Water Grill is the restaurant located within the Sunbreeze Hotel. Situated on the beachside of the hotel, the view of the surrounding Caribbean Sea is incredible. The staff were always friendly and helpful... whether we were at the bar for a quick beer or sitting... 

Wild Mango's: My favorite

Wild Mango's: My favorite, San Pedro

 wreckloose Says:  Owned by celebrated local chef Amy Knox, Wild Mango's was definitely personal dining favorite on the island. The menu is Caribbean food infused with spicy Latin flavors from Cuba, Argentina and Mexico. The seating is divided between a beach front patio and inside a smallish... 

Nightlife  

Jaguar's Temple Bar: Drink and Dance the night away

Jaguar's Temple Bar: Drink and Dance the night away, San Pedro

 wreckloose Says:  Located right in the middle of San Pedro, it's pretty much impossible to miss this 600 person capacity club. A huge jaguar head signals the entrance and once inside, the pulsating bass from the Friday night trance, hip hop and dance hall music hits the senses like a tsunami.... 

Latino Club: Nice little Latin Club

Latino Club: Nice little Latin Club, San Pedro

 Gypsystravels Says:  Ann Marie mentioned to us this little Latin club with great Spanish music (Salsa, Merengue, Bachata and Regaton) so we decided to come by for a bit before heading to Jaguar's. There is no cover charge and we decided to check it out. The club is small with very dark (purple,... 

Jaguar's Temple Club: Everyone comes here

Jaguar's Temple Club: Everyone comes here, San Pedro

 Gypsystravels Says:  This club was the last of our stop for the night and was actually recommended by every local we met. Apparently, this is really the only "true-club" in San Pedro and you will definitely mix it up here with locals and visitors alike. I did notice a lot of young (16-19) year... 

Fido's Restaurant & Bar: Place to kick-off your night

Fido's Restaurant & Bar: Place to kick-off your night, San Pedro

 Gypsystravels Says:  We decided to go into San Pedro Town for a bit of nightlife and we didn't realize that everything really starts well after 12am, except at Fido's where everything starts early and ends early too!Fido's is a bar/restaurant with live entertainment and a rowdy crowd as well. We... 

Transportation  

Convenience redefined

Convenience redefined, San Pedro

 wreckloose Says:  Having a golf cart at our disposal was probably the best thing we could have done on our trip. Not to say walking was out of the question, but because of the distance of our hotel to everyone else we were with, having the golf cart allowed us the convenience of getting... 

Ferry to our Tropical Getaway

Ferry to our Tropical Getaway, San Pedro

 Gypsystravels Says:  We traveled mainly on boat or ferry. When we arrived our hotel's private boat picked us up at their dock landing and transported us to the hotel at no extra cost to us. They also will take you back to San Pedro Town when it is time for you to depart Ambergris Caye. You can... 

Tropic Air

Tropic Air, San Pedro

 Gypsystravels Says:  We arranged with our hotel to have us fly in to San Pedro from Belize City and Tropic Air was the choosen airline. The flight into San Pedro is about 20 minutes with a total of about 15 people. We enjoyed our short trip across to San Pedro with "bird's-eye" views of some of... 

Shopping  

Toucan Too: Grab some gifts for those back home

Toucan Too: Grab some gifts for those back home, San Pedro

 Gypsystravels Says:  Toucan Too is a great little shop here in San Pedro Town that sells your usual tourist souvenir. You can find all sorts of stuff for yourself or for someone back home. I bought a few fridge magnets for my sisters and daughter and a few postcards as well. I was searching for... 

Local Customs  

Wood Carvings

Wood Carvings, San Pedro

 lacole Says:  Belize is famous for their wood carvings. I forget the type of wood that they use, but you will find many people selling various carvings; such as bowls, utensils, masks, and sculptures. If you happen to go to Boomba Village, you may get lucky and see how it is all done. And... 

Tourist Traps  

Gross Hotel

Gross Hotel, San Pedro

 xpythias Says:  Hotel San Francisco.. yukkie place. dirty, smelly and not a financial bargain. the door lock was a small wire latch and it rattled in the wind. hated it. the manager also offered to help hook us up with a horesback riding excursion and wanted to charge us four times as much... 

Off The Beaten Path  

Lamanai... a journey into the past...

Lamanai... a journey into the past..., San Pedro

 wreckloose Says:  When we were preparing for our vacation, one of our personal "must-do" tasks was to visit the Mayan ruins... any one of them. Once we got there, and after speaking to some of the locals, we decided on Lamanai. Our travel package, which included breakfast, had us on a water... 

Wet and cold

Wet and cold, San Pedro

 lacole Says:  As I said some of us went for a dip with our clothes on. And unfortunately had to air dry. I was beginning to think it wasn't such a smart idea after all. But of course a few alcoholic beverages soon allowed me to forget about being chilled 

Favorites

Awesome burritos and cheap daquiris at Gordos, San Pedro

 taylorje Says:  We stumbled upon a very yummy little treasure called Gordos. It's off the beaten path ( which is always fun to stumble across:>) and seems to be a favorite of the locals ( which is also a really good sign :>)It is just down the road from Pedros and around the corner...

 In order to get away from the hustle and bustle of the village (see below), rent a bike and head for the north island. Ride along the coast and you'll soon be alone to enjoy the beach and the ocean....
