Caye Caulker is Belize’s most welcoming island for the independent traveler and a long-time favorite for visitors seeking tropical beauty in a relaxing setting. Originally a fishing village known for its bounty of spiny lobsters, the island has seen tourism gradually emerge as the primary industry. Although Caye Caulker now boasts a full range of restaurants, shops, and tourist activities, the temperament of the island remains friendly and easy-going.
