Anything to do in port in Belize?

[dagtoking1]

I just came off a ten (10) day and am now booked on a seven (7) day, and between all the shore excursions I pretty much just want to take it easy in Belize. Is there anything to do or see in the Port area? :confused:

Shop, shop, shop, then eat and drink. That sums up the port area.

If you walk up Queen Street from North Front Street (at the Swing Bridge) for about five blocks, you will reach the Museum of Belize, which occupies the old Belize jail building "and is not to be missed for its historical and archaeological exhibits."--Lonely Planet guide Belize, 2nd edition 2005, p. 80.

Open Mon-Sat 10 AM-6 PM. There is an admission fee, but I don't know how much. Notable for Mayan ceramics and jade, which in Belize are VERY noteworthy. Behind it is the headquarters of the Belize Tourism Board, which offers some of the most beautiful guidebooks and brochures on Belize. Undoubtedly there they could give you very many more ideas of things to see in Belize City.

I don't think there's that much to do right around the port. I think you should book an excursion to really take advantage of being there.

If you aren't doing a tour, the Fort Street Tourism Village (where the tender boat will take you) has shopping & dining.

 

We usually go ashore, shop a bit and end up at the Wet Lizard for some eats and a beer (or 2 or 3). The view from the balcony is great.
