Caye Caulker

The village of Caye Caulker is kind of quiet and friendly.

A number of good restaurants are open in town. You can have a pretty good time just sitting around the Sandbox all day. Cindies Café is very good for watching the events in the street.

Nearly every part of the island is within walking distance. You can send and receive Email from a number of houses on posts if you know which one. Part of the fun of Caye Caulker is figuring out which house that kid who sells the banana cake lives in, so that you can catch him first when it is still hot.

Many local boatmen would take you to the reef or to the nearby Marine Reserve of Hol Chan. There is an area of friendly rays at Ray Alley you can stop to mingle with on the way. Creek is the best guy to do this with. He appears to know some of them personally. A few friendly nurse sharks mingle with them too.

You can rent kayaks and cruise the mangroves or paddle completely around the island.

First class scuba diving available year around.
