Fishing, diving and snorkeling are really good
in the Placencia beach area of Belize, but the boat ride to the best
sites is longer than further north.
Jungle and ruins trips are much easier from Placencia than from Ambergris and
Caye Caulker, because, unlike Ambergris and Caye Caulker, Placencia is a
peninsula, rather than an island, so long boat rides
are not involved in ruins and jungle trips.
Placencia, as a Belize beach vacation destination, has more of an "adventurous," "Indiana Jones" type feel to it
than other beach locations in Belize. (Local Placencians claim to be
descended from pirates, and they just might be.)
"Adventure with
amenities" (such as good tap water, electricity, phones, Internet
service, wide variety of lodging) is an apt way to describe Placencia.

Belize beach vacation
areas in Belize).
