Corozal, Belize (core - ah - zal)
My number one recommendation when planning to travel “spontaneously” is to book your first night. We are so glad we did and so glad we chose Corozal as our introduction to Belize.
Corozal in a Nut Shell:
- Located 9 miles south of the Mex-Belizean border
- Small town but full of ex-patriots
- No beach, just sea wall. But go to Corozal Bay Resort or Tony’s Inn to find white sand and some small waves
- Cerros Maya ruin - we didnt go but heard of great weekend bbqs on the ruin grounds
- Purple Tucan - yummy fajitas and good looking bar atmosphere
- Tony’s Inn - perfect dinner spot. Sit by candlelight under the Palapa on the water. Uber romantic and the nachos are fantastic
- Blues Restaurant - nachos are decent, drinks are strong. Relax is comfy lounge chairs overlooking the water
- Say hi to Doug and stay at the Corozal Bay Resort: a great, family-run hotel that has 10 beach huts and 5 hotel rooms for their guests. Unlike post hotels in the area, it had a beach (a mini beach) and a pool. Doug, the owner, is a Canadian who moved with his family at age 7 and has been there ever since. Yes, we bonded over our shared Canadian heritage.
