  | Area Activities: - The Great Barrier Reef, longest in the western Hemisphere, shelters the best stocked light-tackle fishing grounds of the Caribbean. The water is warm and crystal clear ideal for a great variety of water sports, fishing, snorkelling and scuba diving. You should visit the impressive Mayan Centres, like Altun Ha and Xunantunich ... and bring along your camera for some memorable shots. Unauthorized digging is prohibited by law.With more than 500 species of birds, this country is a bird-watcher's paradise. There are also numerous animals, which can be observed in wildlife refuges.
- The extensive limestone system gives rise to really fascinating and unexplored cave systems, often with evidence of use in the dim past by the Mayas.
- You will find a congenial atmosphere at clubs and restaurants with tasty food, easy conversation and tropical- style entertainment. There are cinemas in town. Village fiestas are frequent. Other highlights are the gala marathon St. George's Caye Day and Independence celebrations in September; Columbus day in October; Garifuna Settlement Day in November and the National Festival of Arts in November.
- You are encouraged to get your souvenirs and craft-items from department stores, hotels, specialty stores or the Cottage Industries, the National Craft Centre and other workshops for carvings of mahogany and zericote, jewelry, straw hats, handicrafts, postcards, etc. Please remember that the removal of black coral or the sale of black coral novelties by any unauthorized person is illegal.
- Biking - Bicycles are available through your hotel or rental centers located throughout town
- Golfcarts - Numerous businesses offer hourly and daily rentals
- Bird Watching - Wildlife watching is fast becoming a rage on this Caye. Visitors can be seen with binoculars glued to their eyes stepping quietly down the sandy streets in search of that special bird. Crocodiles, raccoons and a vast array of birds can be seen along the lagoon or along small mangrove cayes scattered in the north of the island
- The Lalas Bird Sanctuary offers a unique "people perch" for birdwatching. Made by Wil and Susan Lala, the people perch is a large multi-leveled tower with many vantage points to view birds. The Lalas sanctuary is located just a few minutes to the south of San Pedro Town. Many other birding trips can be arranged, such as to Bird Caye on the south end of the island.
- Golf - At last -- Belize has a championship golf course. Caye Chapel Golf Resort & Marina -- this is the name currently being used, though it may not be the final name -- is being developed.
- Diving (day, night and overnight trips) - Ambergris Caye's biggest claim to fame comes as a dive destination. Most visitors to Ambergris Caye visit because of the superior diving and snorkeling sites found close by. Local dive shops rent full gear, offer all levels of certification by PADIand NAUII and have daily trips to the reef and all local dive sites. Trips can be one, two and three tank dive trips including night dives. Guided trips to numerous sites, including trips to Hol Chan Reserve, Mexico Rocks, the Blue Hole, Turneffe Reef and Glover's Reef.For a wealth of information on diving on the island.
- Snorkeling (day or night) - For those who do not dive, and even if you have never snorkeled, the Hol Chan Reserve, Shark Ray Alley and other coral gardens can provide an equally euphoric experience. Snorkel in 3 ft. of water with brightly colored parrot fish or drift over 60 ft. of Caribbean Sea outside the reef and marvel at the whole other world this marine paradise presents. There are many other snorkel sites easily accessible from San Pedro, such as Shark-Ray Alley. This shallow cut in the reef south of Hol Chan is a popular dive spot for those who wish to see sharks and rays up close and personal. Snorkelers can also enjoy this spot. It is definitely a disconcerting feeling to have these creatures rub elbows with you.
- Water Sports - Jetskis and Waverunners are available through
- Karibbean Watersports. They are a great place to rent good equipment, located in front of the Spindrift Hotel.
- Windsurfing - Ambergris Caye is an excellent spot for all levels of windsurfer. Winter months can offer 20 plus days of 6.5 winds or better. October through March is generally the windy season.
- There are several other islands which are within sight of Ambergris Caye. It is possible to sail to them. Locals never do this alone- at least three sailors is best- with at least one sailor who knows the coral reef well. It is common to get separated during these crossings and boat rescue is unreliable when you are out sailing on the frontier.
- The Lagoon- the Back Side - I love the back side. so quiet, peaceful. Tiny islands dot the area, you can see hundreds of miles if you get up at the top of a mast! Like the virgin everglades, beautiful and mysterious, so full of flora and fauna. There are caves back there that you have to see to appreciate. Currents come and out with the tides because there is a labyrinth of under island connections. On those hammocks and savannahs in the back are crocodiles, javelinas, deer and even jaguar and the birds abound.
