Things to know about Hopkins

Unlike the busier beach towns of Belize, Hopkins offers a peaceful retreat with an authentic local vibe. Home to the Garifuna people, this village is the heart of traditional drumming, dancing, and mouthwatering Garifuna cuisine like hudut (coconut fish stew).

Beyond culture, Hopkins is an adventure hub—snorkel or dive at the Belize Barrier Reef, kayak through Sittee River, or trek into the Cockscomb Basin Wildlife Sanctuary for a chance to see jaguars in their natural habitat. Whether you want to relax on the beach or embark on thrilling excursions, Hopkins is where Belizean culture meets adventure.
