There were a couple of small convenience stores located within two blocks of our hotel, so we used both the Chan Mini Mart and the Friendship Shopping Center for some basic needs for our room. Both places have the usual assortment of household goods, suntan lotions and drinks, including cold beers and wine. They also accept credit cards if you want to save on your Belize $. By the way, Caye Caulker now has a bank with an ATM machine, it only opened the week before we arrived. If it happens to be out of order, there is no easy way to top up your spending money.
We were only into snack items for our balcony perch at the Trends Beachfront Hotel, for when we just wanted to enjoy the breezes or were sitting around chatting with some of our fellow travellers. A container of dry-roasted peanuts, some water bottles, Belikin beers and bottles of red and white wines for our refrigerator. The typical costs for wine were US$13 for a 750 ml California Inglenook Classic Burgundy and US$22.50 for a Carlo Rossi 1.5 litre California White. These were fairly typical for costs throughout Belize, but any kind of wine was scarce and/or more expensive in some of the more distant places we later visited (Hopkins and San Ignacio).

| | | | Sea-ing is Belizing: Books, Maps and Diving | Tip Rating:  | | | | |
Harry Pariser indicates on his website that this is a dive shop. He says: Sea-ing is Belizing shop includes a gift shop, photo gallery, and a bookstore. I do remember the photo gallery, but there doesn't seem to be anything of this nature in Caye Caulker now. Currently there are two businesses that might be the descendents of the original bookstore. One, which is down on the south end of the island is TROPICAL NATURE PO Box 10 Caye Caulker Belize, Central America Website:http://www.picturebelize.com/ Service Offered: * Licensed Belizean guides * Bird/Nature Walks * Environmental slide presentations * Wildlife photography * Student Groups Description: Step into the Tolkien-like world of the mangrove forest searching for the illusive Rufus-necked Wood-Rail and the endangered American Crocodile. Rest under the shade of the Gumbolimbo listening to the melodious songs of Black Catbirds, Bananaquits, and Mangrove Warblers. Taste wild fruits of Cocoplums, Seagrapes, or Xo-Coi. Arrange an interpretive Bird/Nature Walk with birder Dorothy Beveridge. Enrich your group's enjoyment of Caye Caulker's eco-systems by booking an hour long slide presentation: "Reef Ecology", "Birds of Caye Caulker", or "Mangrove World".
We bought a map from here for $9US Leave a Comment Theme: BooksPhone: 501-2-22189
