Explore Ambergris Caye during your stay at Blue Tang Inn. The largest of the 200-plus islands that dot the coastline of Belize, Ambergris Caye is twenty five miles long and a little over a mile wide in some places. The island is made up of three main areas - mangrove swamps, lagoons, and sand. Ambergris Caye (pronounced Am-BUR-gris or Am-BUR-grease Key) is located in the clear shallow waters of the Caribbean Sea just off the tip of Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula. Her coastline is protected by the 190-mile long Barrier Reef, the second largest living coral reef in the world. The Barrier Reef lies about a half mile to the east of Ambergris Caye, running the entire length, with the reef and the land touching at the northeast of the island at Rocky Point.

San Pedro Town is not the only inhabited area on the island. The atmosphere is that of a small bustling fishing village. The town is clustered with wooden homes; some with Mexican decor, others Caribbean, and some still remain with the English colonial architecture. Gift shops, boutiques, bars, cafes, and restaurants adorn Front and Middle streets (now named Barrier Reef Drive/Pescador Drive).
