Life in Belize – Growing up on Ambergris Caye Is Ambergris Caye a good place to raise kids? This is a question I get often. A great question indeed as those with families should be concerned about where they will raise their little ones. Is there going to be plenty to do to keep those developing minds stimulated? How is the educational system?  Along with an endless list of other questions that can be asked. What I’ll do to help answer some of these concerns is share my experience of raising a little boy on Ambergris Caye. My wife and I lived on the island for three years before we had our son.  Yes, he was born right here on the island. It has been a great experience. Nine years later, after so many great memories, what we have ended up with is a very well rounded, polite and adventurous little boy.  An island boy! Those of you whom have met him would likely agree. Here are a few things that any family thinking of relocating to Belize can look forward to. A grea...

Kitesurfing Belize, San Pedro Ambergris Caye Likely you've gotten wind of the buzz about  San Pedro, Ambergris Caye.. Been considering a trip or perhaps even considering making this a second home..? Some of the concerns I have heard is that you might get bored.. Really one can only sit on the beach and sip on Pina Coladas for so long right?.. Not to worry! There are so many things here to keep you busy, especially if you are a little adventurous, like myself. Something that has become super popular on the island ( especially in light of the windy March/ April months) is the sport of kitesurfing. The other day while I was on my lunch break there were 2 adventure seekers taking advantage of the elements today. To me it seemed too windy but for them it was perfect weather to pump their kite wings and stretch their strings. You could see the excitement all over their faces. It got me to thinking, especially since I love to try new things, this was something I had to tr...

San Pedro offers the perfect water to do many marine activities. One of the newest watersports that is creating a big wave on the island is Paddle Boarding. On a calm day the inside of the reef is perfect to head out and rent a board and go out for some much needed sun and Vitamin Sea! There are several outfits that will rent you a board for 10-15$ an hour, the rate goes down if you rent it for longer periods. The boards are about 15ft long and 3 feet wide, very light to carry and offer tons of delightful time out in the water. If you’ve never tried paddle boarding before, you should give a try while on the island. Its a ton of fun, not to mention the fact that it can be a good work out. Grab a board, they don’t offer much instruction when you rent it out but its relatively easy once you get the hang of it, and go have some fun. I always recommend using a bright life vest so you are highly visible to the boat captains, this will avoid them creating big wakes with their boat ...

      Who says you need a sunny day to enjoy a day out on the water...? The past week here on Ambergris Caye has had its share of gloomy, rainy days, but that shouldn't stop you from having some fun on the water. Sure you might not get a tan, but you can still have a great day of fishing adventures, snorkel around the world's second largest barrier reef...or just get crazy and jump off a pier....        We started the day wondering what we should do...My son who loves fishing suggested we go out and have some fun...Who could argue with that! We started our adventure poking around the reef for some conch, not only is this great for ceviche ( a local dish where conch is marinated in lime juice and complimented by a host of veggies) but they also make great bait for fishing....While we were gathering a few conchs we noticed we had company. A barracuda about 3.5 feet in length was trailing us. he followed us the entire time we were in the water...ver...
