Not too far from town on the southern end of the town lies Marco Gonzalez Archaeological Reserve, a tranquil setting where visitors can learn about the ancient Mayan inhabitants of the island.
Also, plenty of chocolate is grown and produced in the area. Check out the various chocolate shops and "factories" on the island where you can buy delicious sweet treats.

Of course, the entire stretch of coastline contains coral reefs (except where it's been destroyed). Another popular spot is the Blue Hole, which is much further out to sea and requires boat transportation. You can also fly over it for a great view.

Check out Caroline's Cookin', Estel's Restaurant, Red Ginger, and Wild Mangos for some great meals.
The cuisine in the area is mixed. You'll find plenty of "American" style food along with some Central American and latin flare as well. Indian, Chinese, and other options are also available.
Transportation
