Caye Caulker is a small island (caye) that lies about 20 miles off the coast of Belize surrounded by the Caribbean Sea and only a mile and a half from the second largest barrier reef in the world. This ideal location makes Caye Caulker a perfect base from which to explore the diverse and exotic marine life that abounds in the surrounding waters. Caye Caulker offers a unique opportunity to step back to a simpler time and escape the hustle-bustle pace of the modern world. Caye Caulker proudly boast its “GO SLOW” motto which the island’s 3,000 residents take very seriously. Siestas are near mandatory. Navigating around the village and the island on the sandy unpaved streets is done primarily on bicycles, walking or on golf carts since there are only a dozen or so vehicles on the island, used for utility purposes.
