If you’re heading out on a sailing vacation with The Moorings, TradeWinds or Sunsail from Placencia, your journey truly begins before you ever step onto your yacht. Many sailors choose to arrive in Placencia a day or two early — and Ocean Breeze Beach Resort is the perfect place to stay before setting sail.
Located in the heart of Placencia Village, Ocean Breeze offers oceanfront comfort, modern amenities, and effortless access to their base. It’s the ideal blend of relaxation and convenience before embarking on your Belize sailing adventure.
