When people first ask me exactly where Belize is located, I joke and say, “Well, I guess it depends… are you by land or by sea?”
You might be surprised to find out that Belize is not an island — despite its beautiful, tropical scenery. There are groups of islands belonging to the country that sprinkle the coastline and sit on the West of the Caribbean Sea, including Ambergris Caye and its main town, San Pedro.
It’s been just over 1 month since the passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. Her son King Charles has since succeeded her as the head of the British monarchy — a job that has “reassigned” him to a more global role.
Every time I turn around, it seems like Belize is getting more and more press… more flights… visits from celebrities… and so many awards being won. Not bad for this little country that just turned 41 years old in September 2022!
It goes without saying: I think that Belize is one of the most beautiful places in the world. It’s why I’ve dedicated much of my life to sharing so much of what this country has to offer to a worldwide audience. Which includes you, my reader.
A record amount of sargassum is smothering Caribbean coasts from Puerto Rico to Barbados to Belize. More than 24 million tons blanketed the Atlantic in June, up from 18.8 million tons in May 2022.
