"When moving to Ambergris Caye, you should pack lightweight and breathable clothing due to the tropical climate. Include items such as shorts, t-shirts, tank tops, and sundresses. A swimsuit is essential for enjoying the beautiful beaches and water activities. Don't forget to pack a hat, sunglasses, and plenty of sunscreen to protect yourself from the sun. You should also pack comfortable walking shoes or sandals, as well as a pair of water shoes if you plan on participating in water sports or exploring the coral reefs. A light rain jacket or umbrella would be useful for the occasional rain shower. In terms of toiletries, pack enough to last you until you can find a local store where you can purchase more. This includes items like toothpaste, shampoo, conditioner, and any prescription medications you may need. If you plan on cooking, you might want to bring some of your favorite spices or condiments that may not be readily available in Belize. Remember to pack important documents such as your passport, driver's license, and any necessary immigration paperwork. Lastly, bring along any electronics you'll need, like your phone, laptop, or tablet, along with their chargers. A power adapter may also be necessary as Belize uses 110-volt outlets, similar to the United States," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Ambergris Caye, Belize.
