The Barrier Reef and Northern Islands

The Belize Barrier Reef is the second largest coral reef in the world and a 180-mile protector of the Belizean coast. The Northern Islands are the most frequented and populated islands in the country. Caye Caulker and San Pedro are not just water sport havens but also bustling towns where socializing is a favorite pastime.

The South and Southeast Coast

The districts of Stann Creek and Toledo are both rustic and authentic. Here lies the heart of the Afro-Caribbean and Maya cultures. Because they are relatively remote from cities and larger towns, they are also the most untouched and pristine districts. For many, their way of life has changed little. They still live off the land and the bounty of the sea. Dangriga, Hopkins, and Placencia are the main hubs of the Stann Creek district, while Punta Gorda is the capital of Toledo.
