4 Best Bars in The Cayes and Atolls, Belize

Rojo Beach Bar & Lounge

Fodor's choice

This sizzling beachfront bar on North Ambergris is a sceney but casual place to sip a Shark Bite (light rum, coconut rum, Meyer's rum, mango, and pineapple) or knock back some housemade shots until late evening. Delicious shared plates are generous.

Crazy Canucks Beach Bar

A lively beachside bar that rocks out until midnight. The popular Trivioke on Fridays is just what it sounds like (trivia then karaoke). Live music here can be thunderous.

Lazy Lizard

"Sunny place for shady people" is the slogan of the Lazy Lizard, which sits right at the edge of the water at the northernmost tip of the village. During the day you can swim at the Split and cool off with some Belikins. Sunsets are amazing and after dark there's a spotlight pointed into the water so you can see fish, small sharks, and occasionally even a crocodile swimming around. Don't expect clean bathrooms, seating or delicious bar snacks, but because of the location this is by far the most popular hangout on the island.

Sip n Dip Beach Bar

The new, less hip, less loud competitor of Lazy Lizard, Sip n Dip is a great place to kick it with your feet in the water, drink in hand. The swimming here is not as good or deep as at the Lizard, but you're a stone's throw from that area. It's more family-friendly, with a playground and a little upcycled waterslide into the sea. There's a basic lunch menu but it's only open until 6 pm, so it's a good spot to beat the daytime heat.
