Forget about Panama City Beach and Cancun.

White, Sandy Beaches

Forget about the chaotic and overcrowded shores of Miami Beach. Belize has them beat, and you have plenty of beaches to choose from when you're looking to plan your nighttime bonfire or mid-afternoon sunbathing spots. Caye Caulker knows how to throw a party, and the hub of activity is Lazy Lizard - a laid back spot known for its juicy burgers and cold and delicious drinks. Looking for something a little more laid back? The laid back beach of Placencia is the perfect destination. This chill little beach village hasn't lost its charm or personality despite its increased prominence over the past few years.

Lush and Verdant Jungles

Belize offers more than just a beach vacation. It's a diverse ecosystem, and its vast stretch of jungles make it stand apart from other Spring Break competitors. And there's no lack of options to go about exploring. Whether you're looking to gallop through the forests on horseback, take an ATV off-roading, or take things a little more low key on foot, Belize has got a solution for you. But we recommend that you take the time to charter a canoe or tube and spend a lazy afternoon floating down the river.

Ancient Civilizations

History courses don't have to involve hourlong lectures and stuffy old books. Belize was once the hub of the Maya Empire, and it has the ruins to prove it. From Caracol to Cahal Pech to Tikal in nearby Guatemala, the people of Belize are never too far away from their heritage. Unleash your inner Indiana Jones or Lara Croft, and work up a sweat in the process. Belize has the highest concentration of Maya ruins in the world, and that includes an imposing 3,000 year old pyramid just ready to be climbed.

Island Excursions

The mainland of Belize is absolutely, stunning, but there's a huge selection of offshore islands to explore as well! Many of these isolated islands are also national parks, and they're a great way to take a breather between the more traditional festivities. Go diving off the shore of Laughing Bird Caye or get a little alone time at the perfectly preserved Silk Cayes. Your options are only limited by your imagination.

Wide Open Waters

While Australia may get all the positive PR, Belize is actually home to the second largest barrier reef in the world. And with Spring Break falling right in the middle of the country's dry season, you don't have to worry about getting rained out of your adventures. Strap on some scuba gear or a snorkel mask to get right up next to the gentle and gorgeous nurse sharks. Or if you'd rather keep your head above water, charter a local sailing boat for festivities out at sea. Fishing enthusiasts will find a rich habitat of fish just waiting to bite.
