February 2025: Daily Events Calendar on Ambergris Caye

I’m putting this out with only 1 week because FEBRUARY IS SUCH A BUSY MONTH and I need your help. (Sorry to shout) – at [email protected].

This is a list of the many FEBRUARY 2025 events and activities around Ambergris Caye. But before I dive into the calendar, let’s start with the big-picture questions.

If it is your first time on the island, see Your Guide to Ambergris Caye.

February is a BUSY month on the island with lots of live music (from Camp Belize to Kelly McGuire), a rib cook-off, a chili cook-off, The Superbowl, Valentine’s Day, and spring break in the US (Presidents Day Weekend is Feb 15-17) for many younger kids (pre-college generally). So think families, not Spring-Break-MTV-Daytona madness.

If you are a business that wants to add to this list, please send me the information at [email protected].

The tourism season came in with a BANG for Christmas week. And we are now in full swing from January to…about Easter week. Easter this year is April 20th, 2025.

Weather in February on Ambergris Caye

Short answer: SUN! The rainy season is generally Aug – November- and rains usually start to taper off in December. We had rain late into the season this year! With rains, at night or for an hour or two in the morning, until late January. Here is a helpful post about “Rainy” Season in Belize: What it means and What to Pack

February might be the best weather of the year. You are going to get SUN and mild temperatures. Temps are generally in the upper 70s to low-mid 80s. The sun is out. And the higher “Easter Winds” haven’t kicked in yet.

I check the weather on Windfinder always knowing that this is the tropics and weather is quite changeable. So you can really only trust the forecast a day or two out.

Sargassum in February:

Sargassum is a brown algae/seaweed that floats in big mats atop the ocean and has lots of positive benefits. It’s a nursery for young sealife and turtles. But…especially since 2015 in Belize…amounts have increased and huge piles of this stuff have washed up on shores around the Caribbean and Mexico and southern USA (and all over the world)

Some sargasso but not a ton
Some sargassum – there can be more, there can be less

The influx in Belize – and the Yucatan Coast (from Cancun on down) has a very loose season. I think it’s the ocean currents…

Sargassum season, in my estimation, is mid-January to August. Last year (2024), it did not come in until the end of February and our beaches were mostly clear until then. Some years are worse than others. It affects, as far as I can tell, just about every Caribbean island.

So far in 2025, we had some come in during the 3rd week in January, but otherwise, just a smattering. This sea weed affects the EAST or reef side of the island while the west side (and the Secret Beach area) stay seaweed free.

Seafood in February:

February is THE LAST month when you can enjoy both Lobster and Conch. I LOVE CONCH. It’s sweet and delicious and very traditionally San Pedro. You MUST try conch ceviche, fried conch (or conch fingers) and the Truck Stop makes an amazing garlicky Conch Pizza. Definitely recommend.

The official dates: Lobster Season is July 1st to Feb 28th. Conch Season is October 1st to June 1st (though it has been known to close early – May or early June – when quotas are filled)

Additionally it’s stone crab season. Though not as popular in Belize, you’ll find it at many of the fancier restaurants and it is delicious.

Before I get into February, here are some things coming up this March to watch out for:

  • Carnaval in San Pedro: Saturday, Sunday, Monday and Fat Tuesday (March 1, 2, 3 and 4th)
  • La Ruta Maya Canoe Race: March 7-10 On the mainland and it’s A BIG DEAL (Try to catch the start if you are in San Ignacio!)
  • Baron Bliss Day (Heroes and Benefactors Day): A national holiday in Belize – schools will be closed March 10th

Here are the events around San Pedro and Ambergris Caye for February 2025. There is an event called Chase the Ace where you buy a drink, get a ticket and a chance to pick a card and win money…it can be lots of money. Someone won big on January 14th so they are on break but…See the POT size, check when it restarts and more details here.
