Placencia

Marie Sharp's has been proudly producing "farm-to-bottle," single-estate, artisanal pepper sauce that's the quintessential taste of Belize since 1981.

Overnight anchorages at tiny mangrove islands, catching your own fresh snapper for lunch, and, of course, excellent waters, this is sailing Belize!

Made up of 3 tiny islets about 22 miles off the Placencia Penninsula, the Silk Cayes are amazing not just for what's above the water, but also what's below.

SailingBelize opens up 450 islands and islets that stud its barrier reef. Known as cayes, pronounced "keys," each one is a petite piece of paradise.

Teeming with life and wrapped in blues and greens, Belize extraordinary — making our Uncommon Caribbean x Sunsail: Sail Belize Giveaway a special giveaway!

Traditional treats on the side of the road at local haunts like Maria and Carmen (also known as Carmen and Maria) make Placencia special.

Chabil Mar boutique resort in the sleepy Belizean town of Placencia delivers a luxury stay with a side of authentic experiential travel opportunities.

Belizean bittas made from overproof rum and a collection of rain forest herbal remedies is guaranteed to put some bite in your bark.

I've yet to visit Belize, a hole in my Caribbean travel game that her rums have done precious little to entice me to fill... until now, thanks to Tiburón Rum.
