How Are Gay and Lesbian Travelers Received in Belize?

That being said, homosexual people do enter the country, all the time. It is a sad reality, however, that they may have to keep their orientation under the radar while traveling in public. Public displays of affection, it should be noted, are frowned upon, homosexual or otherwise. Of course, most Belizean citizens consider themselves either wholly accepting or “tolerant” of gay people, and gay couples can enjoy romantic getaways in local resorts.

There are two known and safe gay nightlife spots in Belize: Jaguar’s gay-friendly dance club on the Ambergris Caye, and Barefoot Bar, an ex-pat hotspot, in Placencia.
