Where Are The Nicest Beaches in Belize?

On the Caribbean Coast, Placencia Peninsula has the best beaches. Placencia’s Maya Beach is especially tranquil and photo-worthy. The town of Seine Bight also has a few well-maintained stretches of beach.

Visit a beach on Caye Caulker called “The Split” – it’s a narrow channel that divides the island. It was supposedly formed by a hurricane. There is only a narrow but of sand, and visitors usually spread their beach towels on the remains of a cement wall.

Ambergris Cayes' best beaches are found on upscale resort properties. If you were thinking of booking a luxurious getaway, these are some of the best options in Belize.
