Caye Caulker
A backpacker island that lives by the motto “Go Slow,” with sandy paths, colorful wooden houses, and a split waterway. A water taxi takes about 45 minutes.
Caye Caulker is much smaller than Ambergris Caye. It has no cars, a slower pace, and lower prices, and its motto “Go Slow” truly reflects the island's pace. The Split at the northern tip is a channel cut open by a hurricane in 1961. Next to it, the Lazy Lizard bar offers swimming, diving, and sunset views. The island offers snorkeling tours, manatee watching, and Great Blue Hole trips. From mid-June to mid-February, lobster season brings grilled lobster from street stalls, which is very popular. A water taxi from San Pedro takes about 45 minutes and costs about US$20 one way.
