Lay on the beach of Placencia Peninsula

Placencia is an emerald-green peninsula in southern Belize with 16 kilometers of sandy beaches. The Caribbean Sea is to the east, while the lovely Placencia lagoon is to the west, facing the Maya Mountains on the peninsula. Placencia is split into two sections: south of the airfield and north of the airstrip. A beach cruiser bike can easily explore the entire peninsula.

The eastern side of the Peninsula has a long stretch of white sand beach with dense mangrove in certain sections, while the western side is defined by a long narrow north-south Caribbean Sea Bay. Riversdale Community, Maya Beach Village, the Garifuna village of Seine Bight, and Placencia Village are all significant villages on the 18-mile peninsula from north to south. Placencia Airport serves Placencia, the peninsula's southernmost settlement.

Consider quiet beaches with rustling palm palms, pastel-colored beachfront cottages, and calm Caribbean seas. Placencia is a thriving seaside town in Belize. Consider visiting the Cockscomb Basin Wildlife Sanctuary and the neighboring Mayan ruins while in Placencia. The Monkey River, which is home to crocodiles, howler monkeys, boas, and iguanas, is well worth a visit. Don't forget to try some of the peninsula's cuisine, which is famous for its Kriol (Creole) seafood specialties. Placencia is roughly 130 miles south of Belize City and is accessible by automobile through the Southern Highway. You may also fly into Placencia Airport, which is approximately 20 miles north of the peninsula.
