A Golf Cart & Margarita Tour of San Pedro, Belize

Greetings from San Pedro, Belize - one of the most celebrated destinations in the Caribbean for sport fishing, diving, secluded beaches, and of course...margaritas! At the end of my trip in April 2024, the winds picked up to a mighty 20knts+, which kept us land locked for a few days. While we did enjoy a few days of great fishing, I figured it would be best to enjoy a windy day doing one of my favorite things to do in Belize - exploring San Pedro and Ambergris Caye by Golf Cart!

San Pedro town is known for its dynamic Caribbean culture, excellent food, creative cocktails, and low-key island vibes - but to really get a feel for the island - there is nothing better than taking a golf cart out on safari.

In this episode, my good friend Ken takes us on a golf cart tour of San Pedro and Ambergris Caye, to sample the finest margaritas that Belizean dollars can buy. We journey from the heart of San Pedro town to Matachica Resort, which is a secluded paradise of its own, on the north side of the island. From there, we make our way south to Castaway, Rum Dog, and ultimately my favorite spot in San Pedro town for impeccable Margaritas - Caliente's!
