Activities around port

[cruisegal415]

We will be docking at Belize next month, from a Celebrity ship, so not going to a private island.  I think last time we were in Belize, there was a huge pool and a beach area near the port?, but I may be thinking of a different port.  We are "lay on the beach" people, and I have already booked a resort for a day place at the two other stops we are making.  Anyone who has gone there recently, can you tell me if I am remembering correctly?

There is no pool or beach at or near the port in Belize City.  Unless you are docking at the new pier, still under construction based on a picture I saw from someone there in the past couple of weeks, Belize City is a tender port.  Outside of port shopping and  bars, there's a small local crafts market across from the cruise center and some museums within a good strolling distance.

I was thinking of Costa Maya.  So, are there any nice beaches when we get to Belize?

You need an excursion to a caye for any beach time if you are tendering into Belize City.
