Elvi's Kitchen
Food & Drink
A San Pedro institution that started in the 1970s as a small burger window and grew into a much-loved restaurant with a sand floor and a big flamboyant tree growing through the roof. It serves Belizean dishes, seafood and lobster in season. A relaxed, characterful place for a solo dinner.

Hol Chan Marine Reserve
Nature
Belize's first marine reserve, a channel through the barrier reef a short boat ride south of San Pedro, with healthy coral, turtles, eagle rays and schools of fish. Most snorkel trips also stop at Shark Ray Alley, where nurse sharks and stingrays gather. Book with a licensed operator; there's a park fee.
