Why Belize is King in Summer and Fall

belize summer and fall vacations

Admit it: You can’t ignore media attention given to England’s royal family. From the Queen’s remarkable longevity to Meghan and Harry’s split and the loss of Prince Phillip, it’s hard to ignore this front page news.

It’s even harder to do so in Belize where ties to the U.K. remain so strong, you’ll hear the Queen’s English spoken everywhere you go, the nation’s legal system emulates England’s and everywhere travelers turn, there are reminders of the former British Honduras. Given this impressive pedigree, it’s no wonder travelers prefer time in Belize to other nations in the southern hemisphere.

“Belize is a cultural anomaly in Central America, with a society oriented more to Britain, the English-speaking Caribbean countries, and North America, than to neighboring Spanish-speaking republics,” concluded researchers compiling a handbook about Belize for the Federal Research Division of the Library of Congress.

For these reasons and more, vacationers consider Belize “the King” of the Central American region and this supremacy is especially noticeable in Summer and Fall when tourism transitions between seasons. Why does Belize “rule” over neighboring lands? Visit the Placencia Peninsula and you’ll understand why!

-This finger of land may be only 16-miles long but it’s filled with wonders
-The beaches are the most highly-rated in the region
-Stay on the peninsula and experience both ocean- and lagoon-side water sports
-Visitors are drawn to coffee shops, bistros, internet cafes, the harbor, guest houses and restaurants
-The people of Placencia are exceptional “hosts,” especially in Seine Bight, a fascinating Garifuna village
-Proximity to rain forests, jungles and especially Belize’s Great Barrier Reef is amazing
-Placencia is emerging as a major tourism hub, but it remains the sleepy fishing village of days past.

June, July and August Are The Best Times To Visit Belize

june july and august best times to visit belize

There is plenty of evidence floating around the scientific community saying that short summer vacations are just as beneficial as long ones, but that’s not realistic. If you’ve got a couple of weeks or perhaps a month to wind down, relax and get your fill of rest, relaxation and adventure, why wouldn’t you have a better experience than those who barely begin to wind down after a full week away from the office?

Whether your schedule allows you to travel for a couple of weeks, a month or the entire summer, take the word of seasoned travelers who swear that long trips rule! But the secret to having a spectacular sojourn is to find a place that maximizes your dollar so what most tourists spend per week during high season lasts for several weeks instead. 

Placencia, Belize is fast becoming the ideal destination for folks who find Ambergris Caye too hectic and smaller cayes too primitive. It’s the home of Chabil Mar, the resort that’s as gorgeous in person as it is in pictures, and since prices drop dramatically during June, July and August, you get an extended holiday without spending an extra penny.
