What to do and see in San Pedro, Belize Cayes: The Best Things to do

July 4, 2021 Marlin Saiz

San Pedro is "La Isla Bonita" that Madonna made famous. Now it's a tourist mecca, but still boasts great beaches and plenty of dive shops so you can enjoy the sun, sand, and sea. Plan a side trip to Caye Caulker while you're here; it is less developed and more laid back, and has its own splendid swimming areas.

Melody goes over and above on the island to provide a great experience for both visitors and those that live here. She creates wonderful art and has weekly classes where you can even take home a little piece of Belize that you paint yourself. She is kind, warm, welcoming, and will create and provide a wonderful Belize experience that I highly recommend!! Many people look for and ask for an authentic Belize experience when they come to Ambergris Caye and this is a prime example of the kind of activity that will make you love your time here!

This was such a fun place to look around. We ended up buying a painting by Nelson Young who lives on Caye Caulker, but he doesn't paint anymore. They have a bunch of cool paintings and they roll them up for you, so you can travel with them. They are packed up really well in PCV pipe and no issues with customs, etc. They also have jewelry, wood carvings, etc. Make sure you check them out on Front Street while you are in Belize.

Marco Gonzalez Maya Site

A 2000 year old Mayan Archaeological Reserve. A jungle experience while touring this almost "virgin" site. No temples here. But the recent clearing of the house sites will give you a sense of the life of the Maya Traders.

Reviewed By Lynx1963 - Lebanon, United States

Small village with some foundations. Lots of pottery pieces. No one there while we were there, but gate was open. We enjoyed ourselves. We had lots of big spray and went early morning. This is in early excavation. Hopefully they will be able to continue.
