San Perdro Downtown Shops: I Heart Credit Cards
All the shops in San Pedro are the same, and prices are comperable everywhere. All the touristy items are priced high, so if you get a chance to buy anything before you get to the islands, I would do it. The cost of shipping to an island is reflected in the tax on all their products. You'll be amazed at the high grocery store prices, so it's best to eat out for every meal. A can of Pringles is as much as an entire lunch! Make sure, if you're using your credit card, you tell your card company before you travel. I was cut off halfway through my Spring Break for suspicious spending! If you do travel over Spring Break, be aware that they celebrate Easter for 3-4 days and many of the shops and restaurants are closed during this holiday. The hand woven hammocks are to die for.Locals sell hand carved bracelets, earrings, and rings that are pretty cool.Also try Belizean Coffee, habanero pepper...
