A Sunday Trip North of The Bridge Part Two: Ak’Bol and CocoBeach
We pulled in and fell in love. This place is gorgeous. Perfect blue water with a perfect dock with perfect stairs so that swimming is easy. The bar is just about perfect too.
A picture of the bar.
But first…we’d taken this trip to see CocoBeach. Rumor on the island is that it has the best pool in all of Belize. And that rumor is not wrong. We left Ak’Bol after one beer promising to return in an hour. I am, of course , a volunteer journalist and I had work to do. (It’s a very tough job).
The road turns seriously bumpy and pretty darn ugly after Ak’Bol/Grand Caribe…so ladies, wear your sports bras and bring your mosquito spray. You might want to think about the water taxi.
Here’s a look at the pool at CocoBeach.
The bar sits right below one of the condo buildings…it’s pretty cool.
Lots of very comfy beach chairs…and the sand slopes right into the pool. Perfect for kids. But it must make it tough for pool cleaning.
I’ve never seen so many new bikes in Belize. Not even at the bike stores in town.
So back to Ak’Bol. Check out the bar menu. Breakfast all day? Chocolate pancakes? Coconut french toast? Pupusas? Smoothies? Hummus? Love, love, love it.
They’ve also just hired one of my favorite bartenders, Ellen. Here is the view from the bar.
Even the bathroom is uber-cute and beachy.
