Hidden Beach on Ambergris Caye, Belize is a secluded strip of several incredible coves with fine white sand and a quiet relaxing atmosphere than its more developed neighbor, Secret Beach. Hidden Beach is considered to be part of Secret Beach and though it requires a short walk through the jungle, it is definitely worth the time, especially if you want to get away from the hustle of the more popular beaches.
Secret Beach, Belize is a gorgeous representation of what the more touristy areas of today would’ve looked like years ago. Don’t be mistaken though, nowadays Secret Beach is starting to boom and crowds are starting to appear, that being said it is still possible to relax in peace and quiet. Located on gorgeous Ambergris Caye just a short drive from San Pedro.
The Xunantunich Mayan ruins are an ancient archaeological site located 70 miles inland deep into the jungles of Belize, near the city of San Ignacio and right on the border of Guatemala. It is a smaller ruins site in terms of area, but the largest Mayan temple, “El Castillo” rises high above the trees giving you an incredible 360 view and with its height is actually the second tallest structure in Belize after another temple at Caracol. Upon arriving at the park there will be an entrance fee of $5 BZD or $2.50 USD, which is well worth it for the experience.
I want to start by saying that Belize is an absolutely incredible country, which is full of unique and interesting sites and attractions, but none has captured our thoughts like Secret Beach. We found out about Secret Beach by looking at a map and checking for new places that we could explore with our golf cart rental. For those who don’t know golf carts and bicycles are the two main modes of transportation on the island, which definitely helps maintain the relaxed vibes.
