Haz73 Posted January 14, 2015 #1 Share Posted January 14, 2015 I am planning on booking an excursion through Shore Excursions Group to Ambergris Caye. Once you're in San Pedro through, you're on your own. I've read you can rent a golf cart to get around the island. Most of the posts on here refer to snorkeling, but we're just looking to explore, shop & find a beach to hang out at for a while. I'm having a hard time finding specifics about beaches that people have been to. Where are the best beaches on Ambergris Caye? Are we better off finding a resort beach - maybe even w/ a beach side cafe? Or are there any nice secluded beaches where we can just hang out for a little while? What are the names and/or how do we get to these beaches from the airport? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare crewsweeper Posted January 14, 2015 #2 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Try this site for information. http://www.goambergriscaye.com/get.html I have somewhere a full pdf guide that t might be a few years old now. But maybe WadeTheGringo can chime in here and give an update since he lives there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wadethegringo Posted January 15, 2015 #3 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Golf carts are a great way to explore. They are expensive. You need a drivers license and same laws as a car...No drinking. From the airstrip you can explore the town on foot. You just cant hit the "burbs". Beaches are not like Cancun, Hawaii or similar. There are a few nice sandy beaches in the town area where you can swim from the shore. A lot of the locals snorkel at the end of docks. You cant swim to the reef. You will need a boat for that. Secluded beaches are a long drive from the airport. A couple of beach bars that I like are Crazy Canuks, about a 10 minute walk from the airstrip. Or Ramón's Village, five minutes.

lifes-a-beach Posted January 18, 2015 #4 Share Posted January 18, 2015 we looked at that excursion but it seemed overpriced considering round trip airfare from the municipal airport is like $60.00 pp. flights leave both ways every hour and its a short cab ride from the port to the airport. I'm pretty sure I read that golf cart rental is around $20.00 an hour. we are gonna give it a shot in march. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haz73 Posted January 18, 2015 Author #5 Share Posted January 18, 2015 Oh, when I looked at flights, they were like $65 each way, so the excursion was a better deal. But the excursion is now sold out & I'm afraid it's b/c those morning flights we need to be on are full. So we decided to go cave tubing instead. Thanks all for the input! I'm a little disappointed to not see La Isla Bonita - but I am excited for cave tubing! I've been torn between the 2 all along. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will be there in mid February. Is it worthwhile to rent the golf cart? We hope to do a little shopping, spend some time at a beach bar or two and grab a meal near/on the water.

melakwa1 Posted January 29, 2015 #7 Share Posted January 29, 2015 I am on the Carnival Glory calling Belize in mid-February and am thinking of flying out of Belize Municipal to San Pedro. Seems easy enough, my question is what sort of buffer should I plan for the tender to/from the ship? I believe we're scheduled to sail at 5pm, so I'm guessing 4pm is going to be the final/final tender? Also, any suggestions on what to see & do on Ambergris? Thanks!
