Things to do
Garifuna culture in Placencia
While Placencia doesn't have all that much in the way of historical attractions, it exudes Garifuna and Creole cultures in everyday life. There's no better place to experience their unique music, food and art than the charming village of Seine Bight, where old tradition and rituals are still present to this day. Lobsters are heavily regulated in Belize, with seasons for fishing defined and enforced. The start of the season always kicks off with Lobsterfest, a celebration of these delicious crustaceans. If you're a fan of seafood, hop on a plane and stay in a Placencia vacation rental in June where you can have your fill.
Activities
Swim with gentle giants in Placencia
First things first: it's unthinkable to vacation in Placencia without at least a day spent diving or snorkeling with an astonishing variety of colorful marine life. Look no further than the Laughing Bird Caye National Park, where you can swim with sea turtles and other creatures of the deep. If you've scored a vacation rental between April and July, you're in luck. This is whale shark season and sees dozens of these gentle giants migrate into the warm Belizean waters. Anglers shouldn't forget their rods. You're not going to want to miss an exciting afternoon out at sea, reeling in kingfish and wahoo.
Weather
Escape the snows of winter in Placencia
Placencia vacation rentals get busiest between November and April, when the coast is dry and the skies are clear and bright. The beaches might be a little crowded, but that's a price worth paying for a near-perfect climate. Edging closer to rainy season, intrepid travelers might want to consider slipping into Belize to catch the start of lobster season and join in the festivities. If you don't mind the odd tropical downpour and would prefer to explore without the foreign crowds, book up a rental in September or October, when the prices take a nosedive. Just remember to pack an umbrella.
Natural features
Placencia is a scuba diver's dream
Though Placencia has the odd land-dwelling critter that's worth spotting, the real magic lies in the surrounding ocean. A reef runs along almost the entire Belizean coastline and is 2nd in size only to the Great Barrier Reef in Australia. You'd better pack your underwater camera, because your Instagram followers are not going to want to miss shots of lazy manatees, often called sea cows, harmless nurse sharks, or magnificent eagle rays. While you're there, look out for dolphins jumping in and out around the boats and huge loggerhead and Hawksbill turtles. This is truly a scuba diver's dream.
