Placencia & Hopkins

 - - - Southern Belize - - - -

Placencia & Hopkins – these coastal areas offer a unique mix of jungle and island experiences.  Resorts range from budget to moderate and a few more luxury resorts.  These areas are not as developed as San Pedro, although there are several restaurants, bars and gift shops available.  Keep in mind however that the reef sits several miles out and jungle excursions are usually full days including travel time. Whale Shark congregations from March through July attract many divers and Placencia & Hopkins are the best locations to arrange your dive trip.
