Placencia Points of Interest
What to do around Placencia
As much as we would love to tell you that Naia has got it all, the Placencia peninsula is home to quite an eclectic collection of restaurants, bars and other activities. This is by no means an exhaustive list of all that the peninsula has to offer, and you may discover some hidden gems on your own as you explore the 13 miles that comprise this ribbon of sand and foliage wedged between the Caribbean Sea and the Placencia Lagoon.
Placencia Village
The Placencia Sidewalk
The Placencia Sidewalk once touted as the world’s narrowest main street, the sidewalk is home to gift shops, art galleries, bars and all sorts of colorful characters. Definitely worth taking a stroll to see who and what you may encounter.
Tutti Frutti Gelateria
Best Gelato outside of Rome! Dark chocolate available as a flavor on Saturdays.
Rumfish Y Vino
Excellent fish dishes and cocktails.
Omar's Creole Grub
Ideal if you’re looking for seafood done local style.
La Dolce Vita
Handmade pasta and Italian cuisine by chef Simone de Angelis.
Rick's Café
Good salads and pizzas, by, well, chef Rick!
CrioCo Wild Chocolate
Without a doubt the finest chocolate in the whole country. Confections and heirloom bars by chocolatier Shaman Marlin.
The Little Wine Bar
Get plastered… in a classy way!
Barefoot Beach Bar/Tipsy Tuna
Same as above, sans the classy part. Good bar food at both and live music several nights a week between the 2.
Taste Belize
Taste Belize – a very cool shop that not only sells local artisan consumables (like soap and chocolate), but also purveys cultural and culinary tours of the village.

Newly opened 9-hole course and driving range a 5-minute boat ride away.
Seine Bight Cultural Center

Maya Beach Bistro
Considered one of the best restaurants on the peninsula.
