If you’re looking for the perfect place to enjoy an amazing summer vacation, look no further than Belize. A small, English-speaking country with amazingly beautiful beaches, islands, jungles, and waterfalls, Belize is just a two-hour flight from cities like Houston and Miami.
One of the biggest summer attractions in Belize is scuba diving with whale sharks. The largest fish in the world’s oceans, whale sharks can weigh up to 47,000 pounds (21 tonnes) and measure up to 41 feet (12 meters) long. Despite their immense size, whale sharks pose little danger to humans because their main source of food is tiny plankton that they strain out of the water.
Whale sharks are migratory animals, traversing the entire globe every year. As such, whale sharks are only in Belize for a limited time. Furthermore, whale sharks normally spend their time at great depths, only rising to the surface during key phases of the moon.
Other exciting things to enjoy in Belize during the summer include the Placencia Lobsterfest. Following the opening of the lobster fishing season in early July, the beachfront community of Placencia hosts a lively three-day festival dedicated to all things lobster. Chefs from all over the country compete to create innovative lobster dishes while hungry diners enjoy plenty of games, competitions, live music, and refreshing drinks.
Summer is truly a great time to visit Belize, especially if you love the beach. Water temperatures are in the low 80s (26-28° Celsius) while air temperatures are in the mid to high 80s (26-30° Celsius).
The best place to stay in Belize on your summer vacation is Chabil Mar Resort in Placencia. Located just steps from the beach, Chabil Mar has luxuriously appointed villas, a beautiful tropical garden, two freshwater swimming pools, and a gourmet restaurant.
