If you are looking for a quite ocean front getaway that’s close to attractions but, still a secluded oasis, look no further. Centrally located to many of Belize’s adventures, you’re no more than an hour drive to a number of caves, hikes, waterfall repealing, scuba, zip line, Mayan ruins and a cool bioluminescence night tour… most of those things being only 20 minutes away. The house is located on a residential street pretty far from buses so you’ll want to get a car if you’re planning on doing the adventures or opt for tour packages that include transit. The house was wonderful! It was so nice to come home to after a long day of exploring:)
The ocean front view is amazing and made for a wonderful office space while I worked on videos for the month I stayed here. Nothing like opening all the windows and letting the sweet, salty sea air in:) I had been looking forward to swimming right off the dock but, it’s called Shallow Bay here for a reason. It was usually ankle deep for quite some distance but, no problem there as I got my swimming fix scuba diving. I highly recommend doing a snorkel or scuba dive with one of the local shops. You’ll take a boat ride out to amazing spots with an abundance of beautiful sea life! I got to have my first go at spearfishes and pet a number of nurse Sharks!
After a month in this place I felt so rejuvenated! I’m so happy I stayed in Hopkins for its relaxing, laid back vibe. If your looking for close by adventure during the day, great food options nearby and a quite, peaceful home at night, this is it!
