Seine Bight Village
Seine Bight
A Garifuna fishing village in the middle of the peninsula, where you can experience drumming, cassava bread and traditional seafood stew.
Seine Bight is the oldest Garifuna village on the peninsula. Its residents are descendants of African and Indigenous Caribbean ancestry, and they maintain a distinctive language, drumming and dance, which are on UNESCO's Intangible Cultural Heritage list. The village has a small gallery, drumming lessons and family-run restaurants, where you can try cassava bread and hudut, a coconut-milk seafood soup. It lies about 6 km north of Placencia village. The village is simple, so please respect residents and ask before photographing people.
