Secret Beach is awesome for calm clear water, shell hunting, and lounge chairs! We got a couples massage on the pier which was excellent and a really good value. You can find TONS of shells if you snorkel along the rocky and grassy parts of the shore. When it’s windy on the windward side, it’s pretty calm here and the sunsets are way better than the main side. Worth the drive out for sure. The only downs sides are rocky areas getting in and out of the water and the vendors that come through to hustle. That’s a bummer because what separates Belize from Mexico is the chill laid back vibes and you typically don’t get people hustling you, bummer to see that getting more prevalent.

Really cool place to hang out for the day. Different bars to choose from… all within walking distance of each other. Great music and entertainment. Some shopping available. And the water is amazing!

My visit to Secret Beach in Belize was an incredible experience that exceeded all expectations. From the moment I arrived, I was captivated by the stunning scenery and laid-back island atmosphere. The clear, shallow turquoise waters and soft sandy shoreline make it the perfect spot to relax, swim, and enjoy the sunshine. The peaceful vibe combined with lively beach bars creates a unique and unforgettable setting.
One of my favorite parts of the experience was enjoying fresh coconuts right on the beach. Sipping cool coconut water while taking in the ocean views felt refreshing and authentic. It added a special tropical touch that made the day even more memorable. The natural flavors and freshness perfectly complemented the warm island breeze.
The highlight of my visit was the lionfish ceviche, which was absolutely outstanding. It was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared, with the perfect balance of citrus and spices. Knowing that lionfish is an invasive species made enjoying this delicious dish even more rewarding. Each bite was light, refreshing, and packed with coastal flavor.
The people at Secret Beach were welcoming, friendly, and attentive, making the atmosphere even more enjoyable. Overall, Secret Beach offers a perfect blend of natural beauty, delicious food, refreshing drinks, and relaxed island charm. It is truly a must-visit destination in Belize.

Not-very-secret beach. Long(40+ minutes via golf cart), rough, bumpy road to get there. Like sports bra needed rough. Really windy when we went, and many said that was typical. So pack or wear layers. A lot of “bars” to chose from. We went to the Swing bar, heading to the left side of things. Family owned, great people. Pretty chill place, but definitely could be a party place too, depending on your mood and group. Checked out the OG area too. Again decent, chill or fun to be had, based on what you are looking for.

There is a great beach area which includes a floating water park for kids to play. There are picnic tables with pajamas in the ocean for enjoying the warm waters and the libations of your choice. You can stay here or visit from wherever you are staying on the island. It was a blast.

I know everybody says this is a tourist spot and it is. If you are actually there in the mornings or evenings that is a very chill Place sure the prices may be higher but if I had the choice to stay on this side or down in South San Pedro I would definitely stay on the secret beach side. After 6:00 p.m. it is all chill and nobody is around barely and it’s only a 20-minute drive to get to any food or restaurants and it’s really not even that bad of a drive the roads and San Pedro are here because of all the little dips at the four ways the food is good and it is a little pricey compared to some but no pricier than some of the bigger Tourist restaurants in San Pedro I mean of course it’s going to be more than a kiosk. Also you have to find the right place if you are going to like blue bayou or water park and things like that you’re hitting the more popular tourist ones but you can also swing into like the swing bar or something where it’s quiet and chill reggaeton music and more laid back, or auroras. Also dont feel obligated to park where people are telling you, you can go anywhere they just want your business. Also beaches are public in belize so just go as you please. Overall you just got to know what you’re looking for and I would recommend it’s a place to stay not do day trips.

It’s an adventure to get here by golf cart, takes almost 45 minutes, but you get to see a lot of the island interior by doing so. Highly recommend making the trek at least once during your stay in San Pedro. The floating obstacle course was a fun and unique experience! Also loved dining on tables in the water! Only downside here is the constant soliciting from vendors walking by and bothering you to buy their crafts, including “irregular brownies” which we didn’t really appreciate. Overall a great experience for the family.

I don’t know if the people who leave 5 star reviews for this place are blind or have never been to a beach in their life. This is by far the most disgusting and neglected beach I’ve ever seen. All the loungers, tables and umbrellas look like they’re 30 years old. Wooden tables in the water are falling apart and are overgrown with sea weed. Who even thought that placing wooden furniture in water was a good idea? Literally any beach in the world looks better than this, even in underdeveloped countries like Albania or Vietnam. We were utterly disappointed and honestly shocked. Further there is rubbish lying around everywhere including leftover dishes from the previous day which were rotting in the sun and attracted birds. The photos were taken at 10am. Seriously, don’t bother. Look for a well maintained resort beach on the other side of the island north of San Pedro instead.

Nice service and good nachos. Big portions. Not really a sandy beach but you can go far out into the shallow water and there are picnic tables in the water.
