Why Belize is Considered Part of the Caribbean

04 Nov: Why Belize is Considered Part of the Caribbean

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.
