  2. Best Time to Vacation in Belize for Familes

    We’re planning a family vacation for Belize and trying to research when the best time to visit Belize is for beach activities and good weather. We have two young kids who love the water. When would you recommend to visit?

    1. Santorini Dave The Hotel Expert

      Generally, December to April are the best months to visit Belize for good beach weather. Peak high season is the weeks around Christmas and New Year’s in late December and early January. If you visit in February or March you’ll get slightly smaller crowds but still great weather. There’s another bump in tourist arrivals around Easter and spring breaks.
