Experience the local culture and nightlife of Ambergris Caye and Caye Caulker. Stingray Alley, about a half hour sail from San Pedro, is the premier snorkel location where the local tour guides hand feed the stingrays and nurse sharks. Heading south through Porto Stuck for a 4 hour sail to Goff's Caye where the snorkeling is superb either inside or outside the barrier reef. Across the channel is English Caye where a local family maintain the lighthouse. A quick sail either inside or outside the reef brings you to Southwater and Tobacco Cayes. Back to Porto Stuck and then upwind to the backside of either Caye Chapel or Caye Caulker. Caye Chapel is a privately owned island with the first golf course in Belize. Spend some time enjoying either Caye Caulker or Caye Chapel. Try hiring a bicycle or golf cart to see it all.

Skippers Notes: At the southern tip of Ambergris, the 6.5-sq-mile Hol Chan Marine Reserve is probably Belize's most oft-visited diving and snorkeling site. It offers spectacular coral formations, plus a rich abundance and diversity of marine life – not to mention its proximity to the cays. Hol Chan is Maya for 'Little Channel,' which refers to a natural break in the reef known as Hol Chan Cut. The channel walls are covered with colorful corals, which support an amazing variety of fish life, including moray eels and black groupers. Although the reef is the primary attraction of Hol Chan, the marine reserve also includes sea-grass beds and mangroves. The sea grass provides a habitat for nurse sharks and southern stingrays, which lend their name to Shark Ray Alley.
