Bliss Beach – Caye Caulker, Belize
Bliss Beach truly lives up to its name — a peaceful and friendly spot that captures the relaxed, “go slow” vibe of Caye Caulker perfectly. It’s the kind of place where time seems to pause, and all you want to do is soak in the moment.
Getting there is part of the adventure. While the easiest way is to take a ferry (about 10–20 Belize Dollars / $5–$10 USD one way), in my opinion, the best way is to bike. You’ll still need to take a quick one-minute ferry ride across the Split (about 5 Belize Dollars / $2.50 USD round trip), and those ferries run frequently throughout the day. Once you’re across, just follow the signs to Bliss Beach — don’t rely on Google Maps, as it’ll lead you the wrong way.
The bike ride itself is beautiful and peaceful. Our Airbnb provided free bikes, which was a huge plus. Along the way, we saw iguanas, birds, and other wildlife — a great reminder of how natural and untouched this part of the island still feels. Just make sure to head back before dark or before it rains, as the path can get tricky then. We felt completely safe throughout the ride. If you’re visiting in the summer, prepare for some serious heat, but even then, it’s absolutely worth it.
Once at Bliss Beach, plan to spend the whole day. The place is big and beautifully set up for relaxation. The food was delicious, the drinks were refreshing, and the service was outstanding. My girlfriend had a hamburger that she loved, and although I wasn’t hungry, I enjoyed a few drinks that perfectly matched the ocean vibe.
The beach itself is gorgeous — white sand and turquoise water — though not quite as pristine as the beaches you’d find in the Mexican Caribbean or the Dominican Republic. Still, it’s a special place. It’s perfect for a group day out or a romantic evening to catch the sunset. The hammocks over the water are the cherry on top — so peaceful and relaxing.
Overall, Bliss Beach is exactly what you hope to find in Caye Caulker: chill, scenic, and full of good vibes. Don’t rush this one — it’s a full-day experience you...

I absolutely love Caye Caulker and have had many wonderful experiences here—but I would never recommend Bliss Beach to anyone.
Like Ana’s review, I found both owners (who are not Belizean—likely Canadian or French) to be extremely rude, dismissive, and operating with blatant double standards. They told me directly that the posted rules don’t apply to them because they “own the place.” That alone says a lot.
They require guests to keep dogs on leashes, yet their own dog—who resembles a pit bull—was roaming freely and ended up attacking my wife. When I brought this up, their response was, “We own the place, we can do what we want.” After 10 minutes of trying to reason with them, it became clear I was dealing with two entitled and unreasonable individuals.
The beach is remote and not worth the long trip. There are so many other amazing, locally owned spots on Caye Caulker where you’ll be treated with kindness and respect—regardless of your background or nationality.
