Ambergris Caye is roughly 25 miles long. Choosing the right transportation makes or breaks your trip.
Golf carts (the local favorite)
Golf carts are the most flexible option. You can drive into town, north past the bridge to remote beaches, or south toward the lagoon. Rentals are typically $35–$75/day depending on size.
Water taxis
Useful for traveling between Belize City, Caye Caulker, and San Pedro. Less useful for getting around the island itself.
Bicycles
Cheap and fun for staying in town, but limiting if you want to explore the north or south ends of the island.
Walking
Downtown San Pedro is walkable. Anything outside town becomes tedious in tropical heat.
Bottom line
For most visitors, a golf cart rental is the right call — especially if your resort is outside downtown. Reserve before you arrive so it's waiting when you land.
