Caye Caulker
The island itself embodies the word relaxed, crystal blue sea, swaying palm trees, friendly people, great cuisine and amazing underwater scenery. The motto on Caye Caulker is 'Go Slow'. The main mode of transport here is on foot or a bicycle, or if you get really lazy, a Golf Cart. The island is only 3 miles long and narrow at points so there is no way to get lost.
There is only a 5 minute boat ride out to the second largest barrier reef in the world and hundreds of world class dive sites within range. Including the famous Blue Hole. Also the next island is Caye Chapel an 18 hole world class golf Course, only a 5 minute boat ride away.
