The cluster of marine, paint and hardware shops on both sides of the Río Dulce bridge — the place to hunt parts before ordering them in from Miami or Guatemala City.

Coordinate is the OSM marine-hardware point mapped as '"West Marine"' on the El Relleno side (whether it is an official West Marine outlet is not confirmed). Also mapped: Abel's paint (15.66077, -89.00521), Lorena's hardware (15.66046, -89.00564) and a Suzuki outboard dealer (15.66055, -89.00525) on the Fronteras side. Noonsite (2020) reports several marine and hardware stores plus hose, solar, tool, battery and fibreglass shops; the NW Caribbean wiki warns custom parts can take a month to arrive, so order ahead. Haul-out at RAM, Mar Marine, Nana Juana and Abel's.
