Fodor's Expert Review Punta Gorda sign

Destination signs with big concrete block letters have become all the rage in Belize. PG has been bidding its visitors Welcome to Punta Gorda, Toledo District since long before anyone conceived of the block-letter concept. A colorful, flat, 10-sided sign with illustrations of seven people who represent Punta Gorda's (and Belize's) multicultural population sits at the north entrance to town. Posting a pic on social media of you and your traveling companions in front of the sign might elicit a "Huh? Where? Isn't Punta Gorda near Fort Myers in Florida?" query from your followers. Let them know you're not in Florida anymore.
