About a hundred miles south of Belize City is the idyllic Placencia Peninsula, a skinny 16-mile long finger of land with aqua blue waters of the Caribbean Sea on the east side and the Mangrove-lined Placencia lagoon on the west side.

Placencia village is the very southern tip. It is a small quaint fishing village much like Key West was one hundred years ago. Home to about 500 Creole fisherman and their families, Placencia has some of the most beautiful beaches in Belize, world class diving on the barrier reef 16 miles away. Deep-sea fishing and fly fishing in unexploited waters of Southern Belize makes Placencia an angler's dream.
