"The southern Placencia Peninsula is a laid-back beach destination where you’ll see a little bit of every Belizean cultural group, in addition to a healthy number of expats. The village is where the action is, amain drag lined with Creole restaurants, bistros, fruit stalls, and snack stands. North of the strip, resorts occupy the Seine Bight and Maya Beach areas, ranging in scale from boutique to large, with swimming pools and water toys. Placencia is near some of the most gorgeous diving and snorkeling in Belize , including dreamy islands for day trips—such as Ranguana Caye, Laughing Bird Caye, and the Silk Cayes."
"When I spend the day on the beaches of Placencia Peninsula, I never leave my belongings unattended while swimming or walking along the sand, because locals and tourists alike can easily swipe valuables; I try to find friends at my hostel so we can take turns watching each other’s things while we relax." - Matthew Kepnes
