Lunch at Ambergris Caye

📅
A casual seaside café on the shores of Ambergris Caye, where wooden signs, thatched palapas, and docked boats convey the island’s relaxed atmosphere. Once a hub for coconut plantations and fishing, Ambergris Caye now thrives on tourism centered on snorkeling, diving, and marine preservation. The area’s name dates back to the colonial era, when “ambergris”—a waxy substance from sperm whales—was a valuable export.
