Shopping

Corozal

Corozal Town has many small grocery stores, inexpensive local restaurants, little shops and one gas station. Fresh fruits and vegetables are available at the outdoor market and from local vendors. In addition, if you are early enough, local fisherman sell their catch of the day along the water edge, such as grouper, snook, red snapper, tarpon, yellow jack, bonefish, and permit. In Corozal, there are no malls, movie theaters, Wal-Marts, fast food places or other trappings that you would look for in a developed area. However, all of these can be found, including a wide range of modern up-to-date medical facilities and services, in Chetumal, a prosperous middle class city of nearly 300,000, just on the Mexican side of the border, a short 9 mile drive or a quick boat ride away.
