The Island
Ambergris Caye, Belize.
Belize's largest island — 25 miles of coastline hugging the world's second-largest barrier reef. Golf carts instead of cars, San Pedro Town in the middle, quieter beaches to the north and south, and the wild lagoon side (Secret Beach) if you want the sun setting into the water instead of behind you.
