Dangriga

Overview

Take a trip to Dangriga on your Belize vacation.

The vibrant and colourful town of Dangriga is the capital of the Stann Creek District in southern Belize and the cultural capital of Belize. Developed as a port and banana, coconut, fish, and timber trading centre, Dangriga is home to over 11,600 people and the perfect place for visitors to immerse themselves in the history, culture, and cuisine of Belize at their own pace, free from tourist crowds. Dangriga is the heart of Garifuna culture, and it hosts several festivals celebrating Garifuna art, food, and music, including Punta Rock, an authentic Belizean music style born in Dangriga. Visitors can explore preserved forests surrounding the town, relax on beaches up and down its coastline, and dive beneath the turquoise waters of the Belize Barrier Reef. Dangriga is an ideal gateway to Belize, with the nearby Maya Mountains, Placencia Peninsula, Hopkins Village, and Mayan ruins offering globetrotters no shortage of adventure opportunities. Dangriga is a quaint yet bustling town with long, hot summers and short, warm winters that promise unforgettable experiences for globetrotters looking for unique adventures in the heart of Belize.
