Caye Caulker |
|
Caye Caulker is a small limestone coral island off the coast of Belize in the Caribbean Sea measuring about 5 miles long by less than 1 mile wide Caye Caulker is located approximately 20 miles north of Belize City, and is accessible by high-speed water taxi or small plane. A narrow waterway known as the split  divides the island in two. The split was first created by Hurricane Hattie in 1961 which split the island, but it was only a foot deep and as people started getting bigger boats on the island they decided to dredge it out to roughly 20 feet deep so the larger boats could pass. The Forest Reserve covers the Northern 100 acres of the island. It's mostly dense mangrove forest. Caye Caulker is a common stop on the Ruta Maya which encompasses Belize, Mexico, Guatemala and Honduras making it a popular destination for backpackers and other tourists.The laid back atmosphere of Caye Caulker is something you must see to appreciate. There are over 30 hotels, and many restaurants and shops, but Caye Caulker remains friendly and easy-going, avoiding the commercialism of other destinations...
