Sidewalk Village

The Sidewalk at Placencia
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.

 Thanks for the very helpful page. Your account of the theft was particularly useful. Sad to here that this happened. I will be in Belize next month and found your tips to be quite strong.

 Too bad you lost your camera and your taped memories. That is excellent advice tho, thanks for sharing and Happy Holidays!

 Thanks for the good info, we're considering Placentia for a future trip (those hammocks are calling my name!) Hot ocean water - now there's something I have to experience for myself!
