How to Spend Your Spring Break in Belize?
Vacationing in Belize over the spring season means that visitation numbers are up, and San Pedro is in full swing. Take the opportunity to swap travel tales with fellow guests at the pool bar. Rent a golf cart and go to Secret Beach, a once-tranquil stretch of beach on the lee side of the island, now a hopping hot-spot. Restaurants will be booming; dinner reservations are a good idea. While lobster is out of season, mangos and avocados will be ramping up.
Due to a variety of Spring Break timeframes, there is no one week that is oversaturated with tourists, rather it is spread out and makes for a fun and festive springtime in Belize. The one exception to this is Easter week. In Belize, most government offices close at noon on Holy Thursday, not to reopen until the following Tuesday. Belize law and custom dictates that no alcohol will be sold in stores on Good Friday, though resort bars remain open for registered guests. It’s an extra-long weekend full of tradition, revelry and delicious food.
