The port was nice but pretty sketchy outside of the port. We were going to walk to a lighthouse just outside of the port but quickly changed our minds. If you are going on a cruise I suggest booking an excursion through your cruise line or staying at port.

While at port I had coconut water with rum from a real coconut! When done with the beverage they broke open the coconut so you can eat the flesh! Pretty cool.

Well organized port with many shops, free wifi, and an indoor gallery with many stands where they sponsor many tours around the city, we personally saw the Mayan temples and it was fun, nice and kind guide, as regards the Port, nothing to say, excellent!

Port area plenty of shopping. Not many picture opportunities, pharmacies have some very competitive prices. Clean area, clean bathrooms, only a few places to get food and it is pricey like 15.00 for a meal. Try the coke a cola when you visit it is made there and they use pure cane sugar.

Shopping area in Belize where the catamarans of the cruise ships arrive. There are several restaurants, but specifically in the Wet Lizard we ate very well. Local food, breaded prawns, fish and chicken tacos, colorful cocktails and cold beer. More than enough.

In terms of just this 'village', it is nothing Grand and feels very artificial. Nothing really here that resonates as local life. An excursion is 100% recommended. Venturing off by yourself just seems extremely sketchy.

The flea markets just outside the gates are just as safe as inside with police officers and licensed travel agents. They can only have the cruise terminal with so many things and agents. Trust your gut and verify your agents credentials, support the locals outside the gate and help their economy locally without the 3rd party taking a cut of the profit.
Shop local, buy from the makers, the mom and pops. We had a tour of the island and then shopped the flea market by our terminal. Also family of our driver. They also take credit, and the prices are amazing!!!! Remember cash though cause the local banks can not offer cash advance without your passport and your bank needs to set that up months before travel. Our tour guide was accommodating for our lack of cash and only credit. Outside the gates is primarily cash.
