Caye Caulker, Belize

Caye Caulker, Belize

Caye Calker Looked Like A Place Out of My Dreams.

I have been to Belize a couple of times. However, I have always heard how beautiful Caye Caulker is. I decided to see for myself, and I was not disappointed.

Caye Caulker is a few miles off the coast of Belize City (mainland) and accessible from Belize City by ferry or plane. The island is tiny, with just three main streets, as the island is about 5 miles long. It’s known for its barrier reef, which makes it a popular diving site, and for its mangrove forest. There are no cars on the island; locals get around on bikes or golf carts, and the roads are made up of dirt/sand.

Caye Caulker's motto is “Go Slow.” I quickly adapted to the slow-paced life. There was no sense of urgency, and everyone walked with intention instead of being in a rush. There isn’t much to do on the island besides eating, drinking, diving, boat rides, and simply chillin. The island is simply beautiful, and I fell more in love with its beauty each day.

Where I Stayed:

While there are hotels on the island, I opted to stay at an Airbnb since I stayed there for an extended period. You can take a look at my Airbnb and overall time on the island over on my Instagram page.

Things To Do:

Again, most of the things to do on the island involve snorkeling, diving, and eating your life away while watching beautiful sunsets. However, I did an Airbnb Experience so that I could learn more about the history and ecosystem of Caye Caulker from someone indigenous to the island.

Places I Ate:

• Weezie’s Ocean Front Hotel Restaurant

• Pelican Sunset Bar

• Salty’s

• Errolyn’s House of Fryjacks

• J’s Perfect Pour

Best Time To Travel:

If you are like me and cannot stand the heat, I do not suggest visiting Caye Caulker in the summer. I have been to Belize in April and November before and I didnt’t experience even a fraction of the heat I experienced in July. So, I think you should go in Spring or Winter.
