Nestled off the coast of Stann Creek in Belize is a peaceful mass of land known as Bird Island. This unique isle sits on a coral reef and is surrounded by the exquisite waters of the Caribbean. It’s an island that bears stark contrasts from the mainland, perhaps seeking to make a name for itself. For one, Bird Island’s weather remains cool even while the mainland becomes hot and humid. Also, unlike the mainland, Bird Island is devoid of mosquitoes. These features have earned it the reputation of being a true tropical paradise where visitors are cut off from civilization’s burdens. The waters flanking Bird Island are quite shallow and are a fantastic site for snorkeling and swimming. Nearby, the village of Placencia offers those who wish to re-join civilization, a chance to do so. This village is known for its alluring beaches which attract lots of visitors. Because of this, a variety of restaurants have set up shop on the peninsula offering an array of mouth-watering dishes which you ought to try out. Looking for a place to stay?
