Passengers disembark from the ferry at Ayala Cove, a small marina abutting a huge lawn area equipped with tables, benches, barbecue pits, and restrooms. Also at Ayala Cove are a small store, gift shop, cafe (with surprisingly good grub), and an overpriced mountain-bike rental shop (helmets included).
Attractions The Ferry Plaza Farmers Market, Embarcadero, at Market caye caulker Street (& 415/353-5650), now at the renovated Ferry Building Marketplace, keeps getting better and is a must-visit. Not only do they have an enormous organic market hawking the bounties of local farmers, florists, and specialty food purveyors, they also host myriad cooking demonstrations. The outdoor market is open 4 days a week (see www.ferrybuildingmarket place.com caye caulker for hours), but the interior gourmet shopping emporium is open daily. This is a great place just to come, hang out, and graze.
