Located one mile west of the Belize Barrier Reef, Caye Caulker is a four mile long island, part of a chain of islands forming the Belize Barrier Reef. Caye Caulker has a very laid-back and relaxing atmosphere with white sand streets and no cars – only bicycles and golf carts for transportation. The weather is usually quite pleasant year around. You can enjoy sailing, scuba diving, snorkeling, birding and more in the clear blue waters of the Caribbean.
