Home > Neighborhood Guides Neighborhood Guides Our Neighborhoods Ambergris Caye Belize consists of many little havens of tranquility and growth. The name Ambergris is said to come from the pirates. It is suspected that the pirates, always out to make a fast buck, were whalers and finally logwood cutters. The pirates are said to have collected whale excrement, called ambergris, that washed up on the island’s shore. Hence the name Ambergris Caye. The island is separated by “the bridge” where the Town of San Pedro with all its commerce and activity are south of the bridge and the new developing area is north. The land mass extends more than 20 miles north of the bridge, making the north portion
Tres Cocos
The first residential area on the north side of the bridge, Tres Cocos homes were built in the late 80s. All the properties have their own docks as the only means of getting to the homes during construction was by boat. Now this tree line sandy road of multimillion-dollar homes have developed into an exclusive area of second homes and vacation homes. Near enough to get to Town in less than 7 minutes by golf cart but away from the hassle and bustle, these homes when they do go on the market are quick sell. The properties have appreciated considerable in value over the years.
