Belize, formerly British Honduras, became its own nation in 1981. It is located on the east coast of Central America, south of Mexico, and northeast of Guatemala. With 239 miles of coastline and 200 islands and cays, it’s easy to see why tourists flock to Belize. A quick 22-minute flight from Belize City to Placencia and you’re ready to embrace the beach life.
Placencia, a fishing village on the south coast, attracts tourists with the ecotourism excitement offered by water activities and historic hikes through Mayan ruins or tropical jungles — and the best soft white sand beaches in the country.
The Placencia peninsula is a 16-mile spit of land that runs north to south, narrowing to just 80 feet at some points. To the east, white sand beaches and luscious palm trees frame the Caribbean Sea. To the west, Placencia Lagoon, a nature and water playground is the foreground to the Maya Mountains.
Wherever you land on the peninsula, you’ll notice its laid-back attitude. It’s one Placencia consciously cultivates.
