Placencia Travel Guide

Placencia is Belize's premiere beach destination. Located at the southern tip of a long, narrow peninsula that is separated from the mainland by a similarly narrow lagoon, Placencia boasts nearly 16 miles (26km) of white sand fronting a calm turquoise sea and backed by palm trees. Placencia attracts everyone from hippy backpackers to avid naturalists to hard-core divers to upscale snowbirds. The whole peninsula is in the midst of a major boom, and development is currently stretching from the peninsula's southern tip all the way up to Maya Beach on the northern end of the peninsula and Seine Bight Village in the middle.
