During the past 15 years Ambergris
Caye has gone from a quiet destination for divers and fishermen to become
the most popular tourist destination in Belize. While high-end residential developments
have sprouted along the beaches Ambergris Caye still holds on to its low key
charm. There are few discos and spas and the closest golf course is 40 minutes
away by boat. The 25 mile long island is situated in water too shallow for mega-yachts
and cruise ships. The government is concerned about maintaining the area's character
and restricts buildings along the water to three or four stories in height.
Here's the full story from the NY
Times.
