About Hopkins
Hopkins is a Garifuna village on Belize's Caribbean coast, with a long beach, a drumming tradition and jungle waterfalls close by.
Hopkins lies along a palm-lined beach in Stann Creek District, a short drive south of the town of Dangriga. Garifuna people founded it in the early 1940s, and the village keeps the language, drumming and dance that UNESCO has recognised as Garifuna heritage. Wooden houses stand along sandy lanes, and fishing boats pull up on the shore beside small guesthouses and beach bars.
