The largest island in Belize is a diver’s paradise.
This 25-mile-long island draws snorkeling enthusiasts eager to explore the northernmost edge of the massive Belize Barrier Reef—the second-largest reef in the world next to the Great Barrier Reef. After swimming with rays and angelfish in the famous Mexico Rocks area of the reef, grab a beer or dinner in the affable port of San Pedro Town, located at the south end of the island.
