It's a very pretty area but overpriced drinks at the local establishments. If you are on Ambergris Caye for over a week and looking for something else to do, go to Secret Beach. If you are there for a short period of time, don't bother. Also, the local gov't really needs to put up signs for navigation purposes.

Beautiful beach, we had a good time but it took quite a while to get there by golf cart and unfortunately there are a LOT of beach sales going on. Everyone was nice but it was annoying. Still a really enjoyable afternoon in the water.

So, everyone tells you to go to Secret Beach - tour guides, restaurant servers, you name it. I would recommend if you are on a short trip of a few days, don’t prioritize this place. It’s a party atmosphere, so I think it’s probably more fun for those who want to hang out and drink. We went on a weekday, and thankfully it was not too crowded. Otherwise it’s just lounge chairs packed in to every available space. While the water is pretty, there is hardly any beach. Food was good and service was great. We were not hassled too much by vendors. It was relaxing, but we could have been just as chill back at the resort. Yes, the drive there is rough. Just like almost all of Belize! But you do drive through some pretty mangrove areas, which was particularly nice on the drive back towards evening. Bottom line - Secret Beach is something to do for an afternoon, but there a lot more interesting things to spend your time on when in Belize.

This is not a destination. It is a journey. My 20-year-old daughter drove the golf cart, and was having the bumpy time of her life. We actually were one of the first people to make it out there in the late morning. We parked by the big sign, and sat at the first bar - pirates. There were a lot of people next door sitting on plastic chairs with neon green umbrellas, and I wondered why on the world they would choose that place over the weathered looking pirate bar with picnic tables in the water! I absolutely loved it! We stayed for a few hours drinking cocktails, swimming and taking photos. I brought a snorkel mask just for fun, but there aren't rock formations so most of the fish are visable from the beach. Sand fleas weren't an issue for us because we didn't walk around a lot on the beach, but they are definitely there. I felt like I was in Margaritaville. It was relaxing and fun.

I was hesitant to go as I figured it was a huge tourist trap. BY FAR THE BEST BEACH ON THE ISLAND! Do not miss it. Spectacular as far as the eye can see. While Belize is often windy, this beach is located on the other side of the island so water very calm and is a beautiful blue like a swimming pool-crystal clear. There are various areas to sit including picnic tables in the water with food and drink service. Our preference was the Blue Bayou restaurant and bar area. Excellent food.

Spent the day at Blue Bayou. Great spot for hanging out in the sun and water, tables in the water made it nice and comfy to stay cool and the water is so clear and shallow you can roam around quite a distance. A perfect day for fun in the sun and drinks/food also at the ready for you. The drive from San Pedro is not at all bad in my opinion. I've been on much worse roads for longer distances in other places in Central America. You can't expect smooth highways, you need to be a bit adventurous. My wife is less adventure minded than me but also felt the drive was not bad. Worth the trip and plan to stop along the way at either The Truck Stop or The Farm for drinks, food, or smoothies!! We also stopped at Crocs for the sunset on the way back! That makes the day complete!

Secret Beach is definitely a place to stop by, it’s a bit of a drive if you are staying in town but worth the drive for the beautiful water and views. Upon arrival be warned as the restaurants/beach bars will try and sway you into their lot, I would go and make sure which bar you want to go to because it’s not a beach where you just park and walk around like we thought, you park at the specific bar and you can leave and hop around but keep in mind when you are driving they will try and entice you into their lot. The water is crystal clear and the water was warm the time we went and a lot of the places have benches and swings in the water. I would say this is more for the younger crowd with the beach bar vibe but there was an older crowd too. I don’t recommend bringing your kids here!

First went to Secret Beach in 2019. Loved it. Could hardly get me away from there. Then....the whole world started going there. Went up that way to check out the new large beach bar/restaurant. The food there was good and, when I was done...I left. That place is just too noisy and jam-packed for my liking. I know that is what some folks are in to, but not me. It was wall to wall people. I guess if you like very packed, touristy places like Murtle Beach or such, you will like this place. To me, the large crowds and development have ruined it. Such is the case with every nice place it seems. lol. Still, definitely worth checking out if you are staying on Ambergris.

Lovely clean beach with warm water! It’s a jaunt to get there, but well worth the trip. There is a beach bar - food is good and drinks are good but service the day we were there was slow. Lots of seating on the beach and in the water.

Secret Beach is a misnomer. At the north end you have a bunch of bars and restaurants that cater to the Spring Break Party Hardy crowd. At the south end, you still have bars and restaurants but less of them and a much mellower vibe. We prefer the latter and suggest Sunset Beach Club is the best place to go. The beach is great in and out of the water and there are a fair number of loungers, picnic tables, tables and chairs for you to use. And the food at Sunset Beach Club is really excellent, supported by better than average service. My rating reflects the whole Secret Beach area. Sunset Beach Club rates much, much higher in my books. One final note. Despite you may have been told that the road has been fixed, the road to Secret Beach is still bumpy and extremely potholed. You need a cart with good ground clearance and shocks.
