Beaches are supposed to be tranquil stretches of sand and surf conducive to relaxation and tranquility, but in Belize, a good-natured “battle of the beaches” has been underway since the nation became the trendiest destination in Central America. The contenders for this ongoing debate are Ambergris Caye, the small island known for its party scene, Caye Caulker — idyllic despite offering visitors less beach to roam than Ambergris — and the hands-down winner of every discussion: The Placencia Peninsula.

There’s a lot to recommend this lush finger of land that offers visitors a choice of two coastlines — the Caribbean and the languid Placencia Lagoon, home to gentle waves and shy manatees—and since only one mile separates these two bodies of water, travelers choosing this peninsula for their fall vacations enjoy easy access to both.

More reasons to say yes to the Placencia Peninsula

This 16-mile-long stretch of land has so much more to offer than just the most highly-rated beaches. You can:

• Stroll down Placencia Village’s legendary 4-foot-wide main street where it’s easy to be distracted by artisans lined up along the street route to sell their handicrafts.
• Patronize local markets not far from the shoreline. Pick up woven baskets, jewelry, decorative items crafted of wood, fresh spices, and one of Belize’s hottest commodities: all sorts of chocolate delights.
• Visit beachfront bars for any number of valid reasons: exceptional drinks, tropical environs, and who knows who you will run into?
• Make it a point to drop in at the Tipsy Tuna during at least one of your pub crawls; it’s an institution on the peninsula!
