Ambergris Caye: Your Strategic Starting Point

Ann Kuffner Brunette

What’s so appealing about this particular Caribbean island?  It’s known for its stunning natural beauty that’s reflected by the surrounding azure sea.  The east coast’s white sand beaches are fringed with swaying palm trees.  From your hammock, you can watch the waves break on the world’s second largest barrier reef.  

World-class scuba diving, fishing, snorkeling, sailing and water sports abound.  Simply strolling the beach with your dog is a satisfying daily pleasure.   But there are also many social activities if you prefer music, festivals, and socializing to swimming, fishing and walking.
