El Pescador

SaltwaterAmbergris Caye — north of San Pedro Town

Anglers have been staying at El Pescador, on the beach 2.6 miles north of San Pedro on Ambergris Caye, since 1974, and the property now has villas, pools and a spa as well. Guides born in San Pedro take one or two anglers per skiff across some 400 square miles of flats for bonefish, permit and tarpon, and the lodge runs reef and offshore trips too. Fly and spin anglers are equally welcome.
