Caye Caulker

Caye Caulker is a small coral island located off the coast of Belize, in the Caribbean Sea. Here are some key points about Caye Caulker:
  1. Location: Caye Caulker is situated approximately 20 miles (32 kilometers) northeast of Belize City, making it easily accessible by boat from the mainland. It is part of the Belize Barrier Reef system, the second-largest coral reef system in the world.
  2. Size and Population: Caye Caulker is a relatively small island, measuring about 5 miles (8 kilometers) in length and less than 1 mile (1.6 kilometers) wide at its widest point. The population is around 2,000 people, mostly concentrated in the main village.
  3. Laid-back Atmosphere: Caye Caulker is known for its relaxed and laid-back vibe, attracting travelers seeking a slower pace of life and a tranquil island experience. The island has a reputation for its motto, "Go Slow," which reflects its unhurried and easygoing atmosphere.
  4. Activities: Despite its small size, Caye Caulker offers a variety of activities for visitors. These include snorkeling, diving, fishing, kayaking, and sailing. The island is surrounded by crystal-clear waters teeming with marine life, making it a popular destination for underwater exploration.
  5. Split: One of the notable landmarks on Caye Caulker is "The Split," a narrow channel that divides the island in two. The Split was created by Hurricane Hattie in 1961 and has since become a popular swimming and sunbathing spot. It is also home to a beach bar and hostel.
  6. Accommodation and Dining: Caye Caulker offers a range of accommodation options, including hotels, guesthouses, and beachfront resorts, catering to different budgets and preferences. The island is also known for its diverse dining scene, with restaurants serving fresh seafood, Belizean cuisine, and international dishes.
  7. Ecotourism: Caye Caulker is committed to sustainable tourism and environmental conservation. The island is part of the Belize Barrier Reef Reserve System, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and efforts are made to protect the fragile marine ecosystem and coral reefs surrounding the island.
Overall, Caye Caulker is a laid-back and picturesque island destination, offering visitors the opportunity to unwind, connect with nature, and experience the beauty of the Belizean Caribbean.
