Belize City | Northern Belize | Orange Walk/Cayo District/Maya Mountains | Southern Belize | The Cayes

Tropical islands cooled by ocean breezes, the cayes are
the most popular destinations for visitors to Belize. At
approximately 25 miles long, Ambergris Caye is the
largest and most developed of all the 200 islands, or
cayes (pronounced "keys") in Belize.
The island itself is situated about 20 miles east of the
mainland on the northern portion of the country.
Ambergris Caye actually is the far southern tip of the
Yucatan Peninsula. The only thing separating the island
from Mexico is a channel that was hand dug by the
Maya to facilitate trade and transportation.
The cayes are a diver's, snorkeler's, birder's, and fisherman's
paradise. The amazing coral reef system, the second
largest in the world, lies one-half mile east of the
shoreline and runs the entire 25 mile length of the
island. This has made San Pedro Town the dive and
water sports capital in the western Caribbean. The Great
Blue Hole, Turneffe Islands, Shark Ray Alley, Hol Chan
Marine Reserve, Mexico Rocks, Lighthouse Reef, and
many other diving areas are all only a short boat ride
away.
The Belize mainland is a short boat or plane ride from
Ambergris Caye, allowing a visitor to stay in the Cayes
yet visit Belize national parks, reserves, Maya ruins, and
other rainforest attractions.
