About Placencia Village and Southern Belize Scuba Diving Sites
Placencia Village, where Chabil Mar is located, is the springboard to some of the most exciting dive sites in the world. The reason for this is that as the edge of the Barrier Reef comes south along the coast of Belize, it separates itself further and further from the mainland. The result is a broad expanse of coral reef with channels that go down from 90 to 110 feet, but rising abruptly into shoals and cayes, providing many nearby SCUBA locations.

At last official count there are a minimum of 20 named dive sites in the southern waters of Belize, off Placencia, bursting with untouched coral and abundant fish life. We are still discovering new sites every day!

Other Information about Placencia Village

And, in addition, for diving enthusiasts, or their non-diving companions, who also wish to experience authentic Belize culture in a traditional fishing village setting, Maya archaeological sites, howler monkey habitat exploration or jungle excursions, including swimming in waterfalls and caves, then Placencia Village provides them with an opportunity to make their wish list come true . . . all from one central location.

Situated at the end of a 16 mile peninsula sits this small seaside village of Placencia (population about 1200), with a tourist element. Adding to the charm of this traditional fishing village are the numerous eateries, beach bars, art galleries and shops along with the spectacular, unspoiled and un-crowded crescent beach. Known locally as “Barefoot Perfect”, Placencia is the only place on mainland Belize that has white sand beaches.

Recently, GQ magazine called Placencia “a quaint town that seems to have forgotten about mass tourism”. Like most ideal destinations, location is paramount to a truly unique experience and Placencia is no exception. Situated on the mainland and located on the Caribbean Sea, Placencia is the doorway to Belize’s most sought after activities on land and sea.

Placencia Village is just a fifteen minute stroll along the beach, or five minute bike (complimentary) and golf cart (on-site rental available) ride from Chabil Mar Resort, along with complimentary evening shuttles.
