How's the nightlife and entertainment in and around Corozal?
Ed Parrish - Dumbbell Properties, LLC
There are lots of bars and restaurants in Corozal. Most of the restaurants serve pretty basic food. They specialize more in the Belizean type food but you can also get pizzas and some other different kinds of food. Belizeans like to drink, so there are plenty of places to grab a cocktail if you want to.

Some of those things are used to regarding nightlife and entertainment is just not there. You have to find other ways to entertain yourself but there’s always something going on if you’re interested. Corozal has a weekly deal they call “Art at the Park” on Friday night where they have a lot of locals selling their handmade jewelry, paintings and wood carvings and vendors selling homemade hot sauce, jams, and jellies; all sorts of different things and it’s kind of a gathering.
And then it seems like every other month in Belize there’s some kind of a national holiday, so there’s always something going on around that. And then the gringos kind of have their own social thing, where they throw darts at various bars different days of the week and then play poker usually at least one day a week. There’s a poker game going on somewhere and there are different little things to break up your time and socialize with folks.

The nightlife in Corozal can be selectively good. It takes people to have a party for the nightlife to really work. Here at Orchid Bay, we bring in live bands on average once or twice a month in season, and we get the locals coming in from the surrounding villages or even from as far away as Orange Walk or Belize City.

Here are Orchid Bay, we have a great nightlife as far as music and dancing. I always have a laugh watching the locals “punta dancing,” which is the most hysterical dance I’ve ever seen. A punta dance is rather risqué. It’s very close dancing where one gets the impression that it’s working to a “climax,” shall we say.
