Once a sleepy fishing village in the Caribbean, Placencia has developed into one of the country’s premier tourist destinations. This stunning emerald peninsula boasts 16 miles of pristine tranquil beaches, a gorgeous lagoon, and more outdoor activities and exotic wildlife than you could ever dream of. In the South you will find a bustling harbour, an array of charming guest houses, and some tempting local cafes and restaurants. The less populated North is home to the Garifuna village of Seine Bight, as well as many of the more upmarket resorts. Spend your days hiking through mountainous rainforests, snorkeling or diving in the crystal clear Caribbean waters, exploring Mayan ruins or simply unwinding on a stretch of magnificent golden sand beach. There is plenty to keep you blissfully engaged on this remote little piece of paradise.
