Placencia is a 17-mile peninsula with sandy beaches on the Caribbean coast of Belize’s Stann Creek District.
The village’s roots are tied to the sea and commercial fishing. Today it remains a relaxed coastal community and a convenient base for visiting nearby cayes, the Belize Barrier Reef, Monkey River and inland nature destinations.
Travelers can reach Placencia by daily domestic flights, bus, rental car or boat. The drive follows the scenic Hummingbird Highway through central Belize.
