Top Things to do in Ambergris Caye
What to do and see in Ambergris Caye, Belize Cayes: The Best Gift & Specialty Shops
Ambergris Caye hovers in a vacation sweet spot: just enough amenities to make it exciting, but not so overdeveloped that you’re tripping over flip-flopped tourists. A mangrove swamp is the eye of this white beach island, the largest in Belize, and golf carts are the main form of transportation along the sandy roads. Reef divers drool over the Belize Barrier Reef and the Blue Hole, a 400-feet deep circle of limestone that teems with angelfish, elkhorn coral, cleaner shrimp and stalactites.

When you are tired of all the mixed fruity rum and tequila drinks and want a nice neat whisky this is your spot. Carlos is the real deal. This is a very chill place, with a great cigar selection, good top shelf whisky, whiskey, tequila and rum. If you are a snowflake you might get your feelings hurt in here. There are real people talking about real stuff (e.g. politics, economics and life) but we also heard conversations about whether it was Brad or Angelina or Jennifer that was the problem. So, bottom line is come here for the smoke and drink. And, the longer you stay the more characters you will meet which makes your experience all the more rich.

We visited San Pedro and this wonderful shop 3 years ago and I couldn’t get their Body Whip out of my mind. Found nothing that comes close so I finally ordered 4! Shipping was fast, packing was great, and a small surprise gift was adorable. I can’t believe I waited this long to order, but I’ll be back, Lara!

Apparently this only opened last month, and was not listed on Trip Advisor, so I have the pleasure of writing the first review! Stopped in after seeing it passing by, right next to the Tropic Air terminal. Got to taste Belikin beer draft, instead of by bottle. Was welcomed warmly by two employees and allowed to taste the Lighthouse and the Stout before settling on a “black and tan” made from both. I’d already enjoyed the regular Belikin, and later tried the light and the seasonal chocolate stout. The latter is AMAZING. Apparently it’s really only for the Christmas season, but the had it at the store, a local supermarket and at the Belikin Store at the airport. It even has little chunks of chocolate at the bottom of the bottle! Had a lovely chat with the two employees about Belize while enjoying my beer at the store. They sell Belikin merchandise as well as beer, and are well worth stopping by!

My boyfriend and I got a slice of chocolate cheesecake and a chocolate brownie and let me tell you, they were both absolutely delicious. Wish I would’ve gotten more. Can’t wait to go back when we visit again.
