Caye Caulker: Overview

Unlock the secrets of laid-back living on this balmy Belizean island.

The unpaved streets and 'Go Slow' signs - erected despite the lack of traffic - contribute to the leisurely pace on Caye Caulker. While eating, drinking and lying on a white-sand beach are popular pursuits here, there's also an amazing array of aquatic activities on offer and marine life to meet.
