Corozal belize

Unlike the popular and often crowded islands of Ambergris Caye and Caye Caulker, in Corozal, you never feel that you’re in a tourist crunch. The laid-back Caribbean vibe encourages you to take it easy and enjoy the great weather, gorgeous landscape, and friendly people. Surprisingly, for a sleepy little town, there’s a lot to do in Corozal, and it’s well worth spending some time here when you visit Belize.

Earlier this month I spent a weekend in Belize and absolutely loved it! I visited the quiet little town of Corozal right across from the Mexico border and was fascinated by the little details that make this town so quaint. Corozal was the perfect place to get a first look at Belizean culture...

Corozal is the northernmost district of Belize and a more recent favourite location for expats. It's downtown is 30 mins away from the busy City of Chetumal in Mexico.

This is how budget slow travel in retirement can work for people with a dream to travel the world with limited money.

On this trip we enter by land. Leaving Xcalak, Mexico in the morning, travel through Chetumal, cross the border and reach our first stop of Corozal.

The northernmost district (state) in the country, Corozal has long been overlooked by most tourists, although that is beginning to change.

Situated directly on the Bay of Chetumal in the northern part of Belize, Orchid Bay is a slice of the Caribbean with all of the comforts of the United States.
