Located one mile west of Belize Barrier Reef, Caye Caulker
is a a four mile long island, part of a chain of islands forming
the Belize Barrier Reef. It is basically a sandy limestone coral
island. Caye Caulker is divided into two parts by a small channel.
The north end is mostly mangrove and is not developed. The south
houses the town. Caye Caulker has a relaxing atmosphere with
white sand streets, golf carts for transportation, and casual
dress with no shoes. The weather is usually quite pleasant year
around. You can enjoy sailing, diving, birding, jungle tours,
fishing, and windsurfing in the clear azure waters of the Caribbean.
You can get anywhere on Caye Caulker with a short, beautiful
bicycle ride. Originally a fishing village known for it's spiny
lobster harvest, gradually tourism has taken over as the primary
industry. The island is divided into two parts by the split.
The main village is located in the southern portion of the
island. Hurricane Hattie in 1961 divided the island at the
split, a narrow waterway between the two islands. Hostels in Caye Caulker |
