Belize destinations enjoy beautiful weather year round, with an average temperature of 84 degrees F. Belize’s dry season is between February and May and has significantly lower rainfall than the rest of the year. Belize is part of the hurricane belt, though statistically it does not attract many direct hits, but does experience intense tropical storms during this time.
Beaches
Though not particularly well-known for their beaches, San Pedro, or “La Isla Bonita” is a tourist hub and known for its bright Caribbean waters and great snorkeling. Ambergris and Placencia are also popular beach towns in Belize with soft, white sand beaches.
Activities & Attractions
Activities
If your Belize destination wedding guest list includes dive-enthusiasts, a visit to The Great Blue Hole is a must. The country is also a living monument to the Mayan culture, with only a small percentage of its endless temples and shrines uncovered. In the north, Altun Ha and Lamanai are well-preserved and easily accessible. As a country with great eco-diversity, Belize is teeming with indigenous wildlife ranging from elusive and rare birds to curious howler monkeys and showy Toucans, so pay a visit to one of the country’s many wildlife preserves.
