Belize is still one of the Caribbean’s best-kept secrets, but that may not last much longer🌴
Our team just returned from a site visit to San Pedro, Belize, and we quickly fell in love with this destination!
Sutton Planning’s Top 10 Tips for Belize:
🤿Snorkel or dive the reef – Belize is home to the second-largest barrier reef in the world. Hol Chan and Shark Ray Alley are a must!
✈️Take the scenic flight – A 15-minute ride in a 14-seater plane from Belize City to San Pedro offers epic views of the cayes.
🏝️Explore the island like a local—by golf cart – It’s the most fun (and common) way to get around town.
⛱️Visit Secret Beach – No longer a secret, but still a must for its calm, clear water and fun beach bars.
🦞Come hungry – Belizean food is incredible. Think fresh seafood, stewed chicken, and the best fry jacks you’ve ever had.
🍽️Explore local restaurants and bars – San Pedro is full of lively hot spots, from beach bars to tucked-away gems downtown.
🍻Try a Belikin Beer – Belize’s national beer is cold, crisp, and tastes even better with your toes in the sand
🏔️Explore both sea excursions and mainland excursions – Day trips to caves, Mayan ruins, or ziplining are all accessible from the island.
🙂Meet the locals – Belizeans are incredibly friendly, funny, and full of personality.
🍫Try Belizean chocolate – It’s the one thing they don’t import—and you’ll taste the difference.
