 | |  |  | The SandBox: Great Food at Great Prices | Tip Rating:   Satisfaction:   |  |  | |  |
The Sandbox is so called due to its being set right in the sand, with no floor. We kept coming back here because the food was so good and the price was so right. Their ribs, burgers, pork chops, lobster bisque soup, and chili are all great, and they have fresh seafood everyday, too. Service is laid-back, like everywhere on the island.
It's so Belizean to see their beautiful, Mennonite-made mahogany tables and chairs sitting right in the sand, with the names of regular customers carved into the backs of the chairs! We always ate in the dimly lit interior, after spending long days in the sun and the wind, but they have outdoor seating as well.

| | | | The SandBox: A Belikin Says We Have Arrived! | Tip Rating: Satisfaction: | | | | |
After doing some morning shopping in Atlanta, Georgia for last minute items, a 3-hour flight to Belize and then a short hop out to Caye Caulker, the first thing we did was to sit down in the Sand Box restaurant, next door to and part of the Trends Beachfront Hotel! I had my first Belikin beer while Sue settled for a cold glass of Chardonnay as we spoke to the owner of the two establishments. The Sand Box is quite a popular spot with both the locals and the tourist traffic, it's sandy floor (second photo) helping to provide a very relaxed atmosphere. While we were sitting here, another couple arrived from Washington, DC and we ended up having a great conversation with them - especially since the young lady had been a Peace Corps volunteer in Nepal, while I had been an equivalent Canadian CUSO volunteer in Zambia (in the year that she was born!).
Once we had settled down a bit to our new surroundings, we struck off for a walking exploration of Caye Caulker by night, taking in the sights up toward the Lazy Lizard at 'the Split'. Having satisfied ourselves with this first glimpse of this amazing little island, we returned to the Sand Box for some serious eating. Sue opted for the local Fish Fillet in Spinach Sauce with Garlic Bread & Pasta Salad (US$10) while I settled for the local favourite of Jerk Chicken with Garlic Bread & Beans/Rice (US$5.50). There was not a scrap left when we finished, with the total meal costing US$27 (with our drinks).

| | | | The SandBox: Dining in the Breezes | Tip Rating: Satisfaction: | | | | |
The morning after our arrival on Caye Caulker, we were very glad to be able to sit outside at the Sand Box to enjoy our breakfast in the very pleasant tropical temperatures and atmosphere! Situated beneath the magnificent leaves of both Rubber and Almond trees, it was great to feel the soft breezes and listen to the morning bird calls as I enjoyed my breakfast Special (US$ 3.25) of two eggs (over easy), Ham, Toast, three Fry Jacks, Beans & Salsa with free Coffee while Sue had the much more sensible Fruit Plate (US$1.75) with Whole Wheat Toast and Orange Juice. We were actually served by Trenton, the owner, and he quickly filled me in on my questions regarding what sort of trees I was actually looking at!
With our various wanderings around Caye Caulker to sample other establishments, we did not make it back to the Sand Box until lunch the following day, after we had finished our snorkeling tour on the off-shore reef. Although this turned out to be a late lunch at about 2 PM, we found our new-found Canadian friends from Saskatchewan (see 'Accommodations' tip) sitting outside and joined them for the meal. Their Quesadillas looked great so we also ordered them - once again a very enjoyable meal for only US$16, including drinks and tip, after our scorching day in the water and sun!
