The Placencia peninsula at the border of Stann Creek and Toledo provinces is the most southern town that diving tourists regularly visit. Together with Seine Bight and Riversdale they make up a location known to be more romantic, quieter and housing more intimate beachfront inns. The coastline north of Placencia all the way up to Dangriga, offers fields of citrus fruits and beaches with green palm trees. South of the peninsula is famous for its cultural Mayan villages and trips to Nim Li Punit and Lubaantun ruins. Toledo province was where Mopan Maya and Kekchi Maya spread first on their migration northwards. Up till today you will find different communities in Punta Gorda and all the small fishing villages along the coast and inland to San Antonio.

The many island just offshore Placencia are very scenic and laid-back offering exceptional beaching, azul blue swimming waters and pristine snorkeling. Shore, land and water birds, tropical orchids, crocodiles and the nation's national animal the Baird's tapir or mountain cow are some of Belize's wildlife and environments. Laughing Bird Caye is an open-ocean atoll enclosing a lagoon which is often referred to as faro reef. There are only a few faro reef systems in the world making this one in Belize extra famous. There are trips to South Water Caye Marine Reserve, to the phenomenal canyon and wall dives near Gladden Split and to some exceptional diving at Sapodilla Cayes. In the months April to June, the reef's edge is where many tours will locate the many whale sharks here attracted by spawning snapper. These magically creatures can be over fifty feet long and weigh more than fifteen tons, eating plankton, baitfish and squid. You can visit the howler monkey habitat at Monkey River Reserve, keep your eyes open for jaguars at Cockscomb Basin Wildlife Preserve and catch large game fish at one of the many fishing tours. Palencia is known as the permit capital in the world. It is a great location with several entertaining attractions with scuba diving certainly being one of them.
