Telling Ambergris Caye’s Story Since 1991
As the oldest newspaper on Ambergris Caye, The San Pedro Sun has proudly served the residents of San Pedro, Belize—and readers around the world—for over three decades. Owned and operated by Tamara and Ron Sniffin, the newspaper has grown steadily in reach and influence since its founding in 1991. Today, it continues to be a trusted source of local news, community stories, tourism updates, and island culture.
With a legacy of consistent print circulation, The San Pedro Sun remains the only newspaper in Belize that qualifies for bulk-rate international mailing—a distinction earned through its strong and sustained foreign subscription base. Over the years, the paper has been delivered to readers across the globe, including destinations as far as the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Venezuela, Baghdad, and more.
Locally, you can find The San Pedro Sun in stores, restaurants, hotels, airports, and water taxi terminals across San Pedro, as well as in other key destinations like Corozal, San Ignacio, Santa Elena, Caye Caulker, and Orange Walk. Most recently, distribution has expanded internationally to Chetumal, Quintana Roo, Mexico, further growing its regional footprint.
In response to Belize’s growing tourism industry, The San Pedro Sun launched the Visitor Guide, a beautifully curated companion publication that highlights the best places to stay, dine, and explore throughout the country. Loved by tourists and locals alike, the guide has helped Belizeans discover hidden gems and exciting activities right in their own backyard.
Dedicated to staying connected in a digital world, The San Pedro Sun also shares daily stories through its website and blog at sanpedrosun.com and maintains a strong presence on Facebook and Twitter. With timely updates, breaking news, and community highlights, the paper continues to be the heartbeat of “La Isla Bonita.”
