Our San Pedro Belize Escape: Reef, Secret Beaches & Relaxation

Hi ,

If you’ve ever dreamed of a tropical escape that balances wild adventure with total chill… San Pedro, Belize might be your spot.

We spent four wonderful days in the summer on this tiny island off the coast of Belize with our daughters. It was possibly our last family trip before we sent Kalyra off to college. And it was a beauty!

Here’s what we loved about San Pedro and Ambergris Caye

✨ Snorkeling the Belize Barrier Reef
🦈 Swimming with nurse sharks & stingrays
🌅 Finding the ultimate secret beach hangout
🍫 Visiting an Iguana eco-sanctuary (tip from a local)
💆 Getting beach massages in a thatched hut
🌮 Tasting our way through tacos, fry jacks & local favorites

We’ve put together a full guide to everything we did, ate, and loved, along with plenty of local tips and personal stories from our family adventure:

We also wrote a detailed review of where we stayed, the SunBreeze Hotel, located right on the waterfront in the heart of San Pedro town. It was walkable, peaceful, and had one of our favorite restaurants on the island.

With gratitude,
Caroline

P.S. Our interview with former Australian PM, Ambassador Kevin Rudd went really well. He was very personable and likeable and put us at ease. We’ll be publishing it this week and will send you a message to let you know where to listen and watch!
