What are the best things to do in and around Corozal?

The best thing to do around Corozal, in my opinion, is boating and fishing. From Corozal, you’re a two hour Catamaran cruise over to the second largest barrier reef in the world, so there is plenty of snorkeling and diving to do over there.

Corozal is a rather famous area where the Mayan population grew. There are Mayan ruins around there where you can go exploring. There are jungles that you can explore. There are actual underground rivers that you can take inner tubes through. There’s hiking, of course.

 

There’s about as much to do as you can possibly think of and then you can also just go over Chetumal, Mexico, which is a city of about 300,000 or 400,000, and which you can drive to or easily reach by boat.  In Chetumal, there are a lot of activities to do. The list goes on and on.

 

With all that, probably one of the best things to do in the Corozal area would be just getting out in a boat, going fishing, relaxing in style.

If you’re under 18, there’s really nothing to do in Corozal. If you’re over 18, you can go down to the bars and drink on the weekends every night, or every other night. There are no attractions in Corozal. 

 

If you can go out to Ladyville, they have the Maya Ruins, but that’s about 40 minutes outside of Corozal. If you’re going to visit Corozal, then chances are you’re probably going to visit Mexico, which is 15...

Corozal itself is more of a retirement settling place. It’s not a place you visit to have fun. It’s more of a place you want to move to, and retire and relax in.

 

The village where I live, outside of the center of Corozal, is where the fishing boats are made, and is where the fishermen leave and return. The fishermen bring their catch into Belize City and sell it. 

 

When it comes to fishing, it’s mostly done on the other side of the reef, which is in San Pedro (on the island of Ambergris Caye) or in Placencia, both of which are a good distance away. I’ve never seen somebody throw a fishing pole by the sea in my village here except for me. Fishing is not really an item from the mainland.
