What do I need to know before moving to Dangriga?

Answer this Question

When we asked people what advice they would give someone preparing to move to Dangriga, they said...

"Dangriga is a small town located on the Caribbean coast, known for its rich Garifuna culture. Before moving to Dangriga, expats should be aware that English is the official language of Belize, but many locals in Dangriga also speak Garifuna and Spanish. The cost of living in Dangriga is relatively low compared to many Western countries, but it's higher than in other parts of Belize. The town is not as developed as some other parts of the country, so expats should be prepared for a slower pace of life and fewer amenities. Healthcare facilities in Dangriga are basic, so those with serious medical conditions may need to travel to larger cities for treatment. The climate in Dangriga is tropical, with high temperatures and humidity year-round, and a rainy season from June to November. Dangriga is known for its music and cultural festivals, particularly those celebrating the Garifuna culture. Expats moving to Dangriga should be aware of the importance of these traditions to the local community. The town is also a great base for exploring the natural beauty of Belize, with easy access to beaches, rainforests, and coral reefs. While crime rates in Belize are higher than in some other countries, Dangriga is generally considered safe. However, expats should still take basic precautions to protect their personal safety and belongings. Finally, while it's possible to live in Dangriga without a car, having one can make it easier to travel around the area and explore other parts of Belize," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Dangriga, Belize.
