July Weather in Belize

The forecast for the first week in July is calling for partly sunny skies with temperatures reaching 87. 8°F (31°C) with lows overnight down to a nice 75.2°F (2 4°C). According to NOAA’s cool satellite image I used above for the feature, there doesn’t look like there is much on its way from the east (which is usually the direction hurricanes come from). I have heard from a few people in planning stages of their vacation being concerned about what the weather is like in July as the forecast shows a lot of rain. If you are one of these people and want some reassurance – click through to see some wise vacation weather thoughts from Destination Expert Jean H.

July Events

June 29 – July 1st Caye Caulker Lobster Fest
This annual event is always a laid back fun island street festival. and they’re very own Miss Lobster Fest Pageant which started the activities last night. Saturday & Sunday will feature a huge beach bash starting at 10:00 am. A fun scheduled event worth catching, Saturday (today) at 3:00 pm a bartending competition will be held. There will also be music from some of Belize’s top DJs and powered by Blue Wave Sound.

July 1st – Canada Day Celebrations!

Another other country day celebrated in Belize (at least on Ambergris Caye). One place advertising a 4th of July party is Mahogany Bay Village. 5:00 pm poolside. Enjoy favorite 4th foods and listen to some great music. They will be serving samples of an All-American wine flight from Karl H Menzies Beverage Division.

July 13th – 15th Benque Fiesta 2018
This country sure knows how to party 🙂  Now in its 52nd year, the Miss Flor De La Feria pageant starting July 13th is packed full of excitement and will give you a happy ending with a Friday night fireworks display after the pageant 😀

Sunday, July 15th will begin with a parade and end with more music and dancing. See the poster of events on the Pageant’s Facebook page.

3 Regular Island Options

Coco’s Loco Beach Bar

They also have a swim-up pool bar, host Thirsty Thursday’s and are regular participants in the poker run. Just north of the bridge – entrance is on the south side of the Village Market.

Poker Run North
This is a super fun event and great for those who like to meet new people, be on the move and possibly win a few bucks at the end of the night. The next one is Scheduled for July 7th. Check out all the information including ways to win some nice cash, on the San Pedro Poker Run – North Facebook page. Please remember this is a driving event so drink responsibly or if you are in the mood to get tanked bring a designated driver.

For Foodies
If you like to eat low cost but want a change from street stands, try Amber Beach Bar & Grill. Monday night features $1.00 wings or $10.00 Nachos. Also, try their Taco Tuesday special. Friday enjoy singing Karaoke with Raul from RG Entertainment. If you are buying food or drink at the restaurant, you can also use beach loungers and the pools at Caribbean Villas Hotel.

Mariachied On My Way Home

If you have ever been to San Pedro you know that the shortest distance from point A to B is not always the fastest. Last night was a perfect example of that. After getting frozen Custard at DandE’s, my friend Denise and I were walking towards my street and sure enough, something shiny caught our attention – the fair. Suddenly a family Denise knew was beside us and She got chatting a which instantly led me to be drawn into the fair a minute to take a picture of the violin playing Mariachi band on stage for Dia De San Pedro.

Ambergris Caye Belize

Before dessert and getting Mariachied, we had enjoyed a nice dinner of my fav secret off-menu item at Hungry Grouper Restaurant and a long chat with Chef Argyle. Since it was an almost full moon, we decided to do a walk around the park and get closer to the sea. Denise who is leaving in a few days also wanted to say goodbye to Albertina. She owns a favorite taco stand – I recommend the shrimp or pork.

Here is best freehand cell phone moon shot I got – not an easy task moon looks slightly wonky.

Love Taco Girl Blog @LaurieNorton! I've been reading this blog since I started visiting Ambergris Caye in Belize almost... 10 years ago. It is filled with helpful up-to-date information and recommendations that I wouldn't necessarily find on my own. Laurie Norton's knowledge and extensive network on the island provides her with the ability to share perks/discounts/coupons with her readers, which come in handy year after year. Things on the island change daily - new businesses pop up constantly and LaurieNortonstays on top of these developments. Whenever I plan my return trip to the island, I always check her blog first - and I recommend you do the same. Trip Advisor ain't got nuttin' on Taco Girl!read more

Laurie's blog is my official “go to” source for tourist and local information on San Pedro. Of course, it’s... always nice to see her guides on “what to do” in San Pedro, but I also appreciate her “insider” advice and human interest stories on what it’s like living as a local on the island. There is so much information it's amazing! Thank you Laurie!!!read more

I’m so pleased to see tacogirl's blog on Google. Laurie's blog is my official “go to” source for tourist and... local information on San Pedro. Of course, it’s always nice to see her guides on “what to do” in San Pedro, but I also appreciate her “insider” advice and human interest stories on what it’s like living as a local on the island. I especially enjoy her guest articles, providing a different perspective of all things San Pedro. Her tipping quide is a classic, and don’t forget her Tropic Air flight code and on-island discounts. You’re not up-to-date with what’s going on in San Pedro if you’re not regularly reading tacogirl's blog.read more

Do yourself a favor. Read this BEFORE any trip to San Pedro - Ambergris Caye or Belize in general. Not saying “do... what everyone else says”, but Laurie has frank and honest info which will make your stay in country a little more fun, a little more informative, and often at a great cost savings. Best thing: it’s unbiased, honest, and factual. Personal note: thank you for your personal tailored help in answering mine (and my wife’s) questions.read more

Taco Girl (Laurie) is amazing. She has so much knowledge about Belize and has great connections with many of the... businesses in Belize. Because of her connections she is able to offer many perks and discounts that you wouldn't have been able to find otherwise. She is super responsive and I always go to her for all my travel needs. From golf cart rentals, to spas, to places to eat. She's got the inside scoop on all!read more
