The weather is so gorgeous and tourism is open…but picking up very slowly.

Last night was the culmination of the 2017 San Pedro Lobster Festival – the zenith of 11 years of festivals that we’ve held on this island to celebrate the opening of lobster season in Belize. And I was asked to be a judge of all the lobster dishes submitted by the 19 different restaurant booths.Keep reading »
Make that 26 tatas. Yesterday, I was honored to be invited on a girls’ trip with Island Dreams Tours on the HUGE boat YOLO. 12 ladies from Idaho celebrating their friend’s one year recovery from breast cancer. Leave the guys at home…head to Ambergris Caye, Belize for 10 days at the Blue Tang Inn and celebrateKeep reading »
Last night was the big block party for the 10th annual Ambergris Caye Lobsterfest and it was an absolute blow-off. There were more people, more space, more booths (which means more tasty food selections) and it was an absolutely gorgeous night. I got there early. 1. Because my night time photos are…terrible. 2. I wasKeep reading »
The official start to Lobster season is just ONE DAY away. Fishermen have been out setting traps and laying down lobster shades in preparation and the events are in place for the Ambergris Caye Lobster Festival… The passports are in… The pies are being readied at Boogie’s Belly… Here is a recap of what’s about toKeep reading »
I considered it WAY advanced planning. My plan – attend two Lobster Festivals in one weekend – Placencia on Saturday and then with the help of Tropic Air, Caye Caulker on Sunday – was put in place almost 2 weeks in advance. 2 WEEKS! And I’m very much a last minute person… But what I didn’tKeep reading »
The beginning of the Lobster season is a hard-and-fast date each and every year – June 15th. And to celebrate, (there’s always a reason for a massive party in these parts) three different beach towns in Belize throw some pretty fabulous festivals. The problem is…2 of the parties are on the same weekend so I have never beenKeep reading »
Even though I live on a gorgeous beach in Ambergris Caye, Belize, travelling south to Placencia always feels like a beach holiday. Placencia Village is set at the end of a long, very narrow peninsula…for most of its development, it was accessible only by boat (or a tedious long drive down a very bad road).Keep reading »
If you follow SanPedroScoop.com on Facebook, you are probably sick of my excitement about this weekend but to me, it’s exciting. Belize’s two oldest Lobster Festivals, Placencia and Caye Caulker – opposite sides of the country, in one weekend. And, if you’ve follow my blog, you’ve seen how I usually make this north to southKeep reading »
Have I packed enough random topics into today’s post? Maybe I can string them together in a coherent way. You can let me know. Yesterday the Grand Prize Winner for the 2014 San Pedro Lobsterfest was announced. The prize is…well…amazing. Ridiculous in fact. I stopped into the Seaduced Tour office and saw the prizes fannedKeep reading »
Last night was the GRAND finale of the week long San Pedro 2014 Lobsterfest. Everyones’ passports were stamped and entered for a FANTASTIC raffle prize – a trip for 2 back to 2015 Lobsterfest complete with flights, hotels, restaurant visits, tours and TONS more. The amazing Paneriffix Steel Pan Group started out the night doingKeep reading »
I’ve just started putting together a daily schedule for myself the night before and, get this, actually writing it down. This running your own business thing is tricky for me – the die-hard procrastinator and queen of no organization. I figure that something basic like a schedule can’t be THAT difficult to do. JustKeep reading »
Okay…so summer isn’t technically here. The first official day is Saturday, June 21st. Which also happens to be the big block buster block party for Lobsterfest here in San Pedro. BUT in my mind summer arrived in Belize over the last few weeks. Despite what many imagine before visiting, there are more than two seasonsKeep reading »
It IS official because I saw Belikin posters in town…and well…the festival starts TOMORROW so here is the full schedule. I’ve added a few “unofficial” events you want might want to attend…have fun! And businesses, please email me any changes/additional information so I can update this. If I’m going to call it official, then theKeep reading »
