Ambergris Caye celebrates the reopening of lobster season with a festival that typically runs a week or two in early July, ending in a big street block party: free live music along the main strip and cut-price lobster dishes at many restaurants.

Practical

belize.com describes it as larger and livelier than the Caye Caulker and Placencia Lobsterfests, with discounted drinks and lobster at many establishments; exact dates change every year, so check the San Pedro Town Council or Belize Tourism Board. Position is the town centre from Wikipedia. Expect crowds and noise ashore; Noonsite warns petty theft rises during festivals.
