One might wonder why Placencia is so popular with tourist of all budgets and real estate investors alike. Well although the people on the peninsula are some of the nicest in Belize, undoubtedly it is still its beaches that made the peninsula so famous.

When Hurricane Iris swept across the peninsula in October 2001, it displaced some of the older houses and tore out most of the large palm trees that used to cover the sands. Now, three years later, everything is rebuilt, better than before, new trees have been planted and are growing daily.

Whether you prefer a busy village or a tranquil surrounding, the beaches along the Placencia Peninsula are hands down some of the best in the country of Belize!
