Hermit Crab Feast
October 17, 2011 - 10:54
If you want to lure hermit crabs out into the open, then crack open a coconut and watch them come out. I guess it's the sweetness and richness of the coconut that attracts them, because in no time there were close to ten of them feasting on this coconut that lay on the beach. But who does not like the rich creamy taste of the coconut and its sweet water. Ahhh! Such a delicacy in the tropics.

August 29, 2011 - 10:34
The sun does set in all its beautiful glory in San Pedro, Ambergris Caye, Belize, unlike any other place in the world. This one captured by Gerry Badillo of Ambergris Today. The conditions were just perfect and the bird decided to make Gerry's picture so much more interesting. A great capture, we say!

Can't get any better than this. Indeed the best beach on the island, as Tranquility Bay Resort boasts on its Facebook Page. We had to share this awesome picture taken in the waters just a few feet from the beach at the resort.
Road Block! What is That?
July 21, 2011 - 14:18 - 2 comments
Honey there is something obstructing the road! We were perplexed with this giant ball blocking the main road south of town over the weekend. Looks like a giant baseball - we were actually waiting to see Clifford the big red Dog come fetch it! LOL. What is it? If you look closely down the road you can see a blue pick up truck coming back for its fallen cargo.
Hermit Crabs Invade Beach
July 12, 2011 - 13:51 - 1 comment
It is that time of year again! The hermit crabs have come and now gone, but not after throwing a spectacular show as they invaded the beachside by the thousands! They gather every year around this time: to mate, hybernate or migrate? That is the question, but oldtimers say they are running from the water as rainy season approaches.
Slow Day at Busy Embarcadero
July 4, 2011 - 13:43
It was nap time at the busy embarcadero (the docks) by the San Pedro Lagoon just behind the Old Football Field. The lagoon was busy with sandlighters but the business was slow. Produce vendors set up their makeshift stalls along the lagoonside as they bring fresh fruits and vegetables from the mainland to sell on Ambergris Caye.
Summer is Here!
June 27, 2011 - 11:34
Summer is finally here and the best place to be when you are living in paradise is to head to the beautiful beach and dive into the refreshing aguamarine sea.

Parking - Only in Ambergris Caye!
June 7, 2011 - 00:00 - 7 comments
Do you think that they can get away with this in the U.S.? More than likely not! But they do it anyway in San Pedro. Clearly some tourist decided to park like this on Barrier Reef Drive, as the cart is a rental. Might traffic have been so crazy or could they have just wanted to squeeze in to get a parking spot? But wait, it was Sunday - the streets were practically empty! Tourist!
Cooling Off!
May 30, 2011 - 12:10
It's DRY, DUSTY and downright plain HOT! So finding ways to keep cool besides a dip in the sea is a must right now. We caught these siblings cooling off during the weekend while they helped out their father wash the golf cart. FUN!

Horse Back Riding in Ambergris Caye!
May 17, 2011 - 10:53 - 2 comments
I don't know if someone is starting up a horseback riding business in San Pedro, but I bumped into these three guys while riding on golft cart through North Ambergris a few weeks back. If anyone thought there were no horses on the island, think again. Be it private or commercial, its was cool to see them enjoying the views and trails of North Ambergris on horseback!

Ambergris Caye does not have the large waves crashing into shore like neighboring Cancun or surfing heavens like California or Hawaii, but during the Spring time when the winds pick up significantly, extreme sports athletes like Averaldo "Picho" Badillo enjoy kite surfing.
