Southern Belize
Seine Bight is a small Garifuna fishing village in southern Belize. It is located in the Stann Creek District, on the Placencia peninsula and it is radiant in culture. From a distance, the residents seem to be poor and unhappy but the humble lives they have and the old shacks they live in don’t represent how fortunate they consider themselves to be.Seine Bight got its name from early fishermen who named it Seine for their favorite long fishing nets and Bight for the word used which means the depression in the coastline. The Garifuna culture in Seine Bight is intact and the people there stay very close to their traditions. This Garifuna village is one of the few extraordinary villages that exist in the Caribbean and even Belize.
