7 Things to Know Before You Drive a Golf Cart on Ambergris Caye
Planning to rent a golf cart in San Pedro?
You’re in good company—golf carts are the main way locals and travelers get around Ambergris Caye.
Before you turn the key, here are 7 essential things you should know to stay safe and enjoy your island adventure.
1️⃣ You’ll Need a Valid Driver’s License
It doesn’t have to be an international permit.
Any valid driver’s license from your home country is fine—just be sure to bring it when you pick up your cart.
Tip: Make a digital copy or take a photo in case you misplace it during your trip.
2️⃣ Drive on the Right Side of the Road
Belize follows right-hand driving, the same as the U.S. and Canada.
Always stay to the right, especially in narrow streets downtown.
3️⃣ Obey Local Speed Limits
Golf carts are much slower than cars, but speeding still happens.
Typical speed limits in San Pedro are:
- 15 MPH (24 KM/H) in town
- 10 MPH (16 KM/H) near schools and residential areas
Keep it slow and watch for pedestrians, bikes, and pets.
4️⃣ Parking Rules Are Strict
San Pedro has designated golf cart parking areas.
Avoid blocking driveways, loading zones, or walkways—fines and towing fees apply.
Pro Tip:
Look for painted lines or signs that say Golf Cart Parking before you leave your cart.
5️⃣ Don’t Drink and Drive
Ambergris Caye is famous for its beach bars, but remember:
Drinking and driving a golf cart is illegal and treated the same as operating a car.
If you plan to have cocktails, arrange a taxi or designate a sober driver.
6️⃣ Lock Your Cart When You Park
While San Pedro is friendly and safe, petty theft can happen.
Always:
✅ Take valuables with you
✅ Lock your cart with the provided key
✅ Park in well-lit areas at night
7️⃣ Be Prepared for Bumpy Roads
Outside of downtown, some roads are unpaved.
You might encounter potholes, sand patches, or puddles after rain.
Drive slowly and carefully, especially near Secret Beach or north of the bridge.
