    This not-for-profit foundation has artwork, jewelry, and music by contemporary Belizean artists, so your chances of finding something uniquely Belizean are good at this spot. They also have a selection of books and a video room, and occasionally offer courses and seminars on drawing and painting.

    The Belize Audobon Society has a small shop with books on local birds and other animals, and typical souvenirs like hats, T-shirts, beach towels, postcards, etc. Part of the money you spend here goes to support a good cause, conservation of Belize's wildlife, which is a big part of what many of us come to see.

    Shopping on the Belize Waterfront: Shops & Restaurants Facing Belize Harbor

    Belize has done a good job of providing an attractive waterfront for visitors to enjoy and also take advantage of some very nice shops for buying crafts, art, clothing, souvenirs and other items. There is a small building complex which features these shops and also the courtyards which they surround. Live music is the name of the game around these courtyards and the "boardwalk" area. The shopping complex walkways are covered to save exposure to the hot sun, and in addition to the regular shops you will also find a small food court with many tables; the "Click 'N Sip Internet Cafe" is very near the entrance of the little complex and a great attraction for those who can't live a day without checking their VT mailbox. Amongst the small shops here you will also find one that sells stamps and serves as a postal drop. The Tourist Info. Office is also located in the complex, and many tour companies have the buses or taxis pick passengers up just outside the rear entrance of the complex.

    This definitely seems like the hub of most of the activity in Belize City from what I saw, but there could be other places nearer to other sights of attraction like the Haulover Bridge just up the inlet so it worth checking that out as well.

    The Tourist Village has a little bit of everything. The prices in the shops seemed very reasonable, even inexpensive, for locally made jewerly, clothing, and gifts of all sorts. I imagine that Belize is the best place to buy such things--likely the least expensive in the Caribbean.

    Jewerly & gifts.

    $11 for jade set of necklace and braclet. $7-10 for handmade purse.

    • "One the boardwalk.....
    by american_tourister
    This is the main boardwalk that is set up for cruise ship passengers. It is clean and neat and isolated from the regular citizens so while you do get unhassled shopping you really miss out on interaction with the ordinary people.

    I bought a beautiful teak hand carved mask. It appeares to ba a Mayan design but they once populated this area.

    Double what you will pay in town for anything.

    Fort Street Flea Market: Best Deals in Native Crafts

    From our observation, the vast majority of cruise ship passengers who come to Belize never get past the enclosed shops that are right on the docks. Folks who are just a little more travel savy will go out the gates and onto Fort Street where they will find the more authentic and charming Fort Street Flea Market. We found the shops here to have more character and lower prices. Also, the vendors here, with far fewer customers, seemed more eager to bargain.

    At one of the stalls Karen bought a very nice "Made in Belize" wooden salad bowl set at a very good price.

    You can find just about anything in the Flea Market in the line of souvenirs: T shirts, postcards, native crafts, and a whole lot more.
