All Pines was a village in the Stann Creek District of Belize.[1] It functioned as a shipping port during the 19th and 20th centuries, supplying pine wood for builders in Belize and other locations along the coast.[2] Cheaper pine wood from the United States led to the decline of All Pines during the mid-20th century, and the village was completely abandoned in the 1960s.[1][2] In 1946, the population of All Pines, including the nearby village of Sittee River, was 538.[1]
