The following list highlights some of the best beaches in Belize. So if you are in Belize, I recommend visiting the following:
San Pedro Beach, Ambergris Caye
Address – San Pedro Beach, Ambergris Caye, Belize
Google Maps Link – 17°59’04.8″N 87°55’15.3″W
San Pedro is located in the Ambergris Caye, Belize District. The waters surrounding the island are calm, clear and shallow, and with all resorts being beachfront, the views you get are unforgettable. San Pedro is a favorite snorkeling site, with colorful fish and sea creatures everywhere, living on the turtle grass underwater. If you want to swim in deeper waters, make sure your resort has a dock; most of them have a roped-off section perfect for swimming. During Easter weekend, the beaches in San Pedro are the busiest and crowded.

Everything from the clear turquoise waters, the white sand and the palm trees, make the island feel like paradise.
