Apartments in Caye Caulker

Laid-back island life reaches its zenith here, where the unofficial motto is 'Go Slow' and locals actually mean it. The Split offers swimming in impossibly blue waters where a hurricane once divided the island. Snorkellers flock to the nearby Barrier Reef, where kaleidoscopic fish dart through coral gardens in the Marine Reserve. Beachfront restaurants serve fresh-caught lobster on plastic tables with your toes in the sand. Rent a bike to explore the car-free streets, or kayak through mangrove forests teeming with birdlife. The Forest Reserve provides sanctuary for local wildlife, while beach volleyball courts host impromptu matches as the sun sets. Evenings bring reggae rhythms and rum punches at waterfront bars where travellers swap stories of underwater adventures.
