Restaurants & cafés
Elvi's Kitchen
A San Pedro institution that started as a burger window in 1974 and grew into a sit-down room with a sand floor and a tree growing through the roof. The menu runs Belizean and Caribbean: conch soup and fritters, mojo de ajo, whole fried fish.
Estel's Dine by the Sea
Beachfront breakfast and lunch spot with tables in the sand just off the town centre. Known for fry jacks, Mayan eggs and Sunday barbecue ribs, with the water a few steps away.
Trails & outdoors
Secret Beach
The west-side stretch on the lagoon shore, reached by a roughly 40-minute golf-cart ride across the island from town. Shallow, still, clear water you can wade far out into, lined with beach bars and floating docks; the main place on the caye where you actually swim from shore.
Boca del Rio Beachfront Walk
The beach and waterfront path north of the town centre toward the river mouth, a flat walk past piers, bars and quieter sand than the central strip. A short, easy stroll that connects town to the Boca del Rio bars.
Things to do
Amigos Del Mar
Family-run dive and tour centre operating from the town centre since the 1980s, running Hol Chan and Shark Ray Alley snorkel trips, reef and Blue Hole dives and certifications. One of the longest-established and most consistently rated operators on the caye.
Ambergris Divers
PADI dive centre in the town centre offering snorkelling, scuba, fishing and sailing trips. Guides are noted for spotting marine life and keeping beginners comfortable, with twice-daily Hol Chan snorkel departures.
Landmarks & sights
San Pedro Central Park
The plaza at the heart of San Pedro town, on the beach side of the main drag, with the big coloured SAN PEDRO letters facing the water. By day it is vendors, a playground and benches; by night the surrounding bars become the centre of town nightlife.
San Pedro Roman Catholic Church
The town's parish church, a short walk from Central Park near the waterfront. A working local landmark rather than a tourist sight, and a good marker for orienting yourself in the town grid.
