The Best of Placencia

Residents and guests alike enjoy the intimacy of this stunning emerald peninsula boasting 16 miles of sandy beach, making Placencia a popular area for who those want an island vibes but still on the main land. With the Caribbean Sea to the east and the charming Placencia lagoon lies to west, this hidden gem can be access by land, air and sea, making it the perfect place to experience a little bit of everything Belize has to offer while relaxing in your new ocean or lagoon front home.

Placencia is divided into two parts: south of the airstrip and north of the airstrip. In the south residents and visitor will find the greater concentration of coffee shops, bistros, internet cafes, the harbor, guest houses, taxi and bus station, banks and local restaurants, making it the busy part of Placencia. The northern portion of Placencia is less densely populated and home to some of the most luxurious resorts in the country. The entire peninsula can be easily navigated on a beach cruiser bike.
