Belize Attractions &
Activities
Sea Breeze Villa is within
walking distance along the beach to about seven restaurants and a quick water taxi ride from
town and other local restaurants ... or rent bikes for a ride along the
beach to town or a golf cart for a day or longer.
Diving is the best in Belize where we have the second longest barrier reef
in the world less than one half mile off the beach of your
villa! With visibility over 100' and water temperatures averaging 80
degrees, you'll want to arrange a diving or snorkeling trip to The Blue
Hole, Moon Caye, Lighthouse Reef, Half Moon Caye National Monument, Hol
Chan Marine Reserve, Laughing Bird Caye National Park or Shark Ray Alley. Local dive and tour groups can arrange diving
and snorkeling trips and they rent and sell equipment for divers and
snorkelers, so feel free to come down with little else than your bathing
suit and suntan lotion. However, in many places, you can just wade out to snorkel and see
beautiful colorful fish. For the more adventurous, diving lessons and/or
certification can be arranged during your stay.
In addition to diving and snorkeling trips, you can arrange for boat
trips for exploring, fishing and dining. The fishing is fabulous (fly, spin cast & deep sea)
whether on a boat or off the shore. You can also enjoy tours of the Mayan ruins,
trips to see the manatees, sailing, caving and cave tubing, canoeing or kayaking,
windsurfing, zip lining, museums, the zoo or any other excursions that may interest you.
On site you'll enjoy swimming in the pool or Caribbean Sea, fishing,
snorkeling, lounging on the pool deck, beachcombing, sun worshiping or,
our favorite, hammock 101.
Nearby there's boat excursions, water skiing, boating, snorkeling, scuba,
surfing, para-sailing, diving, sailing, wind surfing, jet-ski, biking,
miniature golf, sightseeing, shopping and plenty of wonderful restaurants.
The public water taxi can pick you up at the about 100' from our villa
or you can order a private water taxi to pick up you and your group
right at the villa. You can go and
the water taxi can take you anywhere you want to go on Ambergris Caye and
even to the mainland.
You can expand your adventures to other fun-filled areas of Belize by
catching one of the either the water taxi or a small plane from San Pedro. They leave
the Caye about every hour and go to Belize City and other cities in Belize.

interest is ecotourism. Belize's natural history has always been its most
precious resource, and therefore, it has become a virtual paradise for
botanists, herpetologists, ichthyologists, mammalogists, ornithologists,
and zoologists. Belize has become an internationally recognized leader
in preservation and conservation.
