Caye Caulker — Caribbean Island Travel Diaries
What to do and what to eat in this pocket paradise in Belize
First Impressions
Caye Caulker is such a teeny tiny island that at first glance it may fool you into thinking that it might not have much to offer. But sometimes the best things do come in small packages and this pint-sized, adorable, a little rough-around-the-edges Caribbean island quickly became my new favourite place in Belize.
We arrived by boat from nearby San Pedro. Immediately we could see that Caye Caulker was far less built up. Gone were the fancy resorts, here are wooden terraces and one-story pastel storefronts, it’s rustic and quaint and I love it.
Day One
We had a funny little roster of activities planned for our first afternoon. First, we headed to the seahorse viewing place, you’d easily miss it and walk straight past it if you didn’t know about it beforehand. It’s just a little jetty flanked by submerged fishing nets which make a perfect hiding place. They’re tiny and well camouflaged, so it’s difficult to spot one, but once you do, it’s equally difficult to drag yourself away. The little seahorses are so cute!
