Belize is located in Central America, and bordered by the North by Mexico, and to the West and South by Guatemala. Ambergris Caye (pronounced "Key") is the largest of the many islands that border the country, (25 miles long), and is situated 35 miles off the North East of Belize. The Belize Barrier Reef is just 1/3 mile from the Island, and is the second largest reef in the world (approx. 190 miles long), making Ambergris Caye a world-class diving destination.

Getting to the Island:

The Island of Ambergris Caye is a short 15-20 minute flight, or 1-1 1/2 boat ride from the town of Belize City. The two main ways of getting to San Pedro, Ambergris Caye, are by plane and by boat. Belize City's Municipal Airstrip houses the two main local airlines, MayaIsland Air and Tropic Air. There are many boat docks in the City, including the main Marine Terminal and the Belize Tourism Village.
