About Punta Gorda

Punta Gorda is the southernmost town in Belize, a quiet Caribbean port and the gateway to Maya villages, cacao farms, ruins and rainforest rivers.

Punta Gorda, known locally as PG, is the main town of the Toledo District, on the Gulf of Honduras in the far south of Belize. A small waterfront, a market and wooden houses on stilts give it a quiet, easy character. Garifuna, Maya, Creole, East Indian and Mennonite communities all live in the region.
