Can you resist temptation? You'd better come prepared if you are going shopping here. There are so many great products that it's guaranteed: somewhere, sometime, you'll be tempted. It might be colorful beachwear, evening fashions, an exquisite piece of art, an ultra-chic purse, a tropical shirt, a gorgeous piece of jewelry or local handi-crafts. Shopping is as diverse as the country but don't expect glitz and glitter. Do expect an incredible array of hand-carved slate, woodcarvings, baskets, world-class hot sauces and jungle healing potions. Many depart wearing their new "You Better Belize It" T-shirts.
