Love Lobster? Head to Belize . . .
Belize is a fascinating country. It is known for
pristine coastlines with beautiful powdery sand
and scenic offshore islands. It holds the record
for the second longest reef in the world, after
Australia’s Great Barrier Reef. Underwater beauty
and scenic vistas abound, giving visitors many
reasons to return to this country, time and time
again. There is however, one specific reason many
come to Belize which isn’t related to scenery,
beaches or relaxation and that’s for its seafood.
Lobsterfest, for seafood lovers, is well worth the
trip and summer is an ideal time to savor the
seafood delicacies that are prolific in many parts
of the country. You’ll find Lobsterfest events in
Placencia, Caye Caulker, San Pedro and Belize City.
Throughout these cities, lobster is cooked in a
variety of ways and you can be sure it will be on
almost every restaurant’s menu.
This annual festival celebrates the abundance of
lobsters and mouthwatering culinary discoveries
await the foodie traveller between June and
February when lobster season opens.
