Whether looking for adventure or relaxation, the Stann Creek district is the place to be. Within an hour you can be hiking through rain forests, climbing a Mayan ruin, swimming in waterfalls, or fishing, snorkeling, and diving the Belize Barrier Reef.

The peninsula also boasts 16 miles of tranquil beaches along with dozens of cayes of which you may be the only visitor. And after a day of relaxation, indulge in our world-class restaurants highlighting the unique ingredients of the region

The fringe of the peninsula is covered in mangroves which are a superior habitat for birds and marine life. Many birds, fish, shellfish, and marine organisms begin their lives within the protection of these special areas.

Nearby, the Belize Barrier Reef is a superb coastal reef system with dozens of dive sites and even more snorkel spots and island beaches. These sites have been left in a more pristine state because they have felt less impact from boats and divers.

The three distinct villages of the peninsula all offer a chance to have an authentic Belize experience. Because of the small population, interaction with the community is assured.

There are a variety of community events throughout the year that attract locals and visitors alike. Belizeans are very proud of their country and love to share and celebrate life in many different ways.
