About the Area

Placencia is a lovely palm fringed village at the end of a long sandy peninsula in the south of Belize and on the edge of the beautiful district of Toledo. The people there are very relaxed and friendly and the village currently boasts at least ten bars and restaurants and sandy beaches shelving into clear blue waters.

The Southern Cayes are of the most beautiful and unspoilt in Belize. Some of these Cayes have cabanas in which visitors can stay. Fishing, snorkelling and canoeing may be your fun whilst there.

At Punta Negra, close by the wonderful coral beaches beckon and exciting jungle lined beaches run for miles.

The reaches of the two nearby rivers are forested on either side and the abundance of wild life including varied species of birds, iguanas and terrapin can be easily spotted by even the most unobservant person. Southern Belize is one of the few remaining underdeveloped frontiers left for wildlife in the world. Its a paradise for fishermen with lobster and shrimp being plentiful.
