Garinagu Crafts
With the mission statement of 'keeping the black diaspora alive,' Dangriga native Francis M Swaso's shop is part crafts store, part museum. The shop sells a wide range of arts and handicrafts made by Garifuna artists, including drums, maracas, paintings and dolls, and displays a number of historical Garifuna artifacts as well.

Austin Rodriguez
This master artisan carves Garifuna drums from mahogany, cedar and mayflower wood in his thatched-roof workshop by the water's edge (southeast of Dangriga Central Market). Though Austin's drums are sold all over Belize, you can cut out the middleman by going straight to the maker himself. Mr Rodriguez will be happy to answer any questions you might have on the drum-making process.

Viola's Shells and Jewelry
Jimmy sells handmade jewelry made from mother-of-pearl, conch and coconut as well as drums, shells and other souvenirs from his shop on the main drag. As long as you're here, check out the store just up the street from Jimmy's spot, which sells oils, candles, potions and other items used in Santeria rituals.
