Placencia is the southernmost village in the only peninsula in Belize. We have a lagoon to the west and the crystal waters of the Caribbean Sea to the east. Placencia is a small community of about 800 people, located in Stann Creek District. We have clean drinking water and beautiful, clean swimming water!

White Sand Beaches, Restaurants, Dive  Shops, Tour Groups, Kayak Rentals, and endless sunny days for sailing and snorkeling!

Each year Placencia celebrates Lobsterfest in June, the Arts Festival in spring and Easter week is also a big time here.

Stay in Placencia for the village charm of this Caribbean Paradise – take day trips to Mayan Ruins in Toledo, to the jungle at Cockscomb, to waterfalls and scenic hikes!
