"Placencia, Belize" a Placencia Village Travel Page by diver-x

Placencia is an odd little village at the southern tip of a peninsula that's about halfway between Dangriga and Punta Gorda. Before a driveable road was built on the peninsula, life in the village developed around the dock and what is now known as The Sidewalk - a paved walkway along the beach. So if you really want to see Placenia, you have to walk it. Handpainted signs along the walkway point the way to guest houses, bars, restaurants and tour companies along the walkway. Don't expect a clear path once you venture off the pavement, but if you follow the general direction of the sign, you'll probably find what you're looking for.
