Sorry! We don't have any recommendations for Caye Caulker right now.
You won't find nearly as many shops here as in San Pedro, but there are a few standout stores to poke around in for some interesting souvenirs. Every day vendors set up on a section of Front Street north of the main public pier, selling crafts and souvenirs. A few vendors along Front Street can be pretty aggressive—ignore them and buy from someone else.
Enter through the blue picket gate to discover curated goods and crafts all made in Belize. Paintings by local artists can be found here. The owner, Jessie Wigh (who also runs Namaste Café), writes the charming Caye Boy series, children's books about the joys of growing up on Caye Caulker.
This gallery sells prints, handpainted silk, and other works by Lee Vanderwalker, as well as handmade jewelry and scarves by local artists. The small café serves tasty coffee and eclectic breakfast and lunch dishes.
Chan's is a popular supermarket in the village. Pick up your basic groceries and Marie Sharp's hot sauce here.
Get your boat snacks, Travellers rum, hot sauce, and kitschy magnets at this dependable store, open daily until late-ish.
You'll recognize this little shop by the beautiful mural of hibiscus blooms; inside you'll discover paintings by American artist Paulette Salo and craft pieces by Maya and other Belizean artists. This is a great spot to find meaningful souvenirs.
