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.
