Not much to see here, just a wall is left.
Little place to relax in the center of town.
Museum on Corozal history and tradition.
Kind of like a beach only there's not much sand.
Quasi-beach, i.e. mangrove trees and watery shoreline.
Visit small Mayan ruins.
Visit other Mayan ruins. The easiest way to reach these is by boat, usually hireable at the main dock east of downtown, but the site can also be reached by road. Follow the Cerros Ruins signs on the road to Copper Bank and Sarteneja, but be careful, it is about a 10-mile dirt road which can be very washed out following bad weather, especially hurricanes. The direction to Cerros may also not be terribly well marked, but if you take the left path at major forks in the road, you should find it fairly easily. Again, hiring a boat in Corozal will definitely be quicker and easier, but taking the road will give you a chance to ride one of the hand-cranked ferries seen throughout Belize (no charge for the ferry, but feel free to tip or buy juice or snacks the ferry pilots have for sale).
