Ambergris Caye Vacation Rentals

As the economy begins to show signs of strength again, many people are starting to consider more adventurous and lively destinations for their family vacations. Travelers may want to consider a warm weather excursion to the Central American paradise of Belize, where a beach vacation rental in Ambergris Caye could make for the ultimate summer getaway.

Located in the Caribbean Sea, Ambergris Caye is the largest island off the coast of Belize at 40 kilometers long and 1.6 kilometers wide. This means that visitors are never far from a beach, and with much of the island untouched by man, guests can witness the full extent of the region's natural splendor everywhere they turn.

The first stop for vacationers will have to be the island's only city of San Pedro, a small settlement that has become a haven for local scuba divers looking for a safe port of call. Tourists will find dozens of piers where locals and tour groups rent out boats for fishing, diving or sailing, and the island's proximity to the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef has made it a popular stop for snorkelers, as well.
