Belize: Cucumber Beach

[Cigar Dude]

With the "warnings" about Belize and all the fenced in areas at the tender drop off...is it safe to go to Cucumber Beach, and how far is it from the tender drop off area?

 

I had heard the warnings were exagerated but want to hear from the masses here.

Cucumber beach is in the Old Belize attraction and it is about 5 miles from Belize City.

been there before....good food and the huge water slide is awesome.

 

about 10-15 minute drive from the part, and it seemed pretty safe

I have been on the island of Ambergris Caye. San Pedro for three years...

Walking home,,or stumbling home I have never had a problem...

 

Belize city is an "inner city" It is safe during the day. Just deal with the vendors and if you do drink, keep your wits or drink inside the village.

 

Taxis are safe and honest for the most part...They might charge you tourist rates. Most trips will not be over $10us but should be closer to $5us

stay on the boat in belize...as for the beach in old belize with the water slide. it was horrible, stayed there 10 minutes and ran, sand flies were terrible, there was an oil film on the water. Belize was the worst port.
