Belize’s No Shoes, No Shirts, No Problem attitude in tourist areas and laid back spirit means there are not too many rules to worry about. But as one of the most pristine environments on the Central American isthmus, responsible travelers need to keep a few things in mind. And some things you do not want to miss out on.

1. Do not leave home without your favorite sunscreen and bug repellant.
You are coming here for the sun and the rain-forests and there are bugs in the forest and in some beaches no see ums (sand flies). Expect to pay at least double for these essentials if you can find your brand at the tourist shops. 2. When snorkeling or scuba diving do not stand on or touch the coral.
They are protected species and delicate. Some coral can literally bite back and deliver a substantial sting if brushed with bare skin. Depend on your tour guide to show you how to explore our marine life without damaging anything.
