Located in a lively part of Southern Belize, the Placencia Peninsula is a prime destination for beach lovers and watersports enthusiasts. Placencia Lagoon is divided into two parts by a local airstrip. The southern part of the lagoon features restaurants, shops, guesthouses, a bus station, and other tourist infrastructure, while the northern part of the island is occupied by several upscale resorts.

The historically significant village of Seine Bight is also located on the northern side of the Placencia Peninsula. In total, sixteen miles of pristine beaches are spread throughout the area.
