Almost
210 miles by road from
Belize City, it is the last sizeable settlement in Southern Belize. The
road into town follows the shoreline; five main streets run parallel
inland. Various fruit trees, especially mango trees, line the streets.
Most small homes are made of wood on stilts.
The town has one hospital, a police station, one bank, a post office, a
gas station, a civic center, a number of churches and schools, and
various grocery stores, hotels, restaurants and bars. Punta Gorda is a
gateway by Water
Taxi to and from Guatemala with immigration and customs office near
the town dock.
