Ranguana is crowded because of the new cruise ship port nearby, which disturbs those staying for several days. Ranguana is accessed from Placencia, Belize.

Punta Ycacos Beach

The List of “Best Beaches in Belize” will be incomplete without a remote beach almost impossible to get to. Punta Ycacos is a fabulous, deserted beach located just north of Punta Gorda, the southernmost town in Belize. A boat from Punta Gorda should be hired for traveling to Punta Ycacos. Bring your camping gear and stay for days. And one should not pay in advance for baggage pick up in advance as he will remain stranded.
