Local travel tip

If you’re arriving in Belize City and planning to head south, consider staying a night or two in Placencia village before you move on. It’s quieter than the city and has that laid-back Belizean feel, with easy access to the beach. Locals recommend visiting in the dry season, from late November to April, when the sea is calm and the evenings cooler. If you’re staying in town, look for places within walking distance of the local eateries and craft shops. It makes for an easy introduction to Belize while avoiding the tourist-heavy spots you’ll find down the road.
