After much research over the past year we made our first trip to the Southern Peninsula of Belize, that is the villages of Maya Beach, Seine Bight and Placencia. We found a True Caribbean feel mixed with tourists and expat residents alike. The peninsula is based in a mixture of Creole and Garifuna people indigenous to that part of the world since the early 1700's. The main cultural difference between Corozal and Placencia is that Corozal, being 7 miles from the Mexican border, is 80% Hispanic. We prefer the Caribbean feel, white sand beaches and vibe of Placencia over that of Corozal and for that reason we are moving to Placencia next month.
