Caye Caulker is Belize's second-largest island, spanning four miles in the Caribbean approximately 21 miles northeast of the coast of Belize City. The island's formerly fishing-based economy has given way to tourism in recent years, known today for its vibrant nightlife and affordable lodging options. Calm, clear waters on the island's reef side make for perfect swimming conditions, while the Caye Caulker Marine Reserve makes for a prime spot for diving and snorkeling due to its proximity to the Belize Barrier Reef.

Eco-tours on Caye Caulker offer opportunities to see manatees, mangrove lagoons, and more than 120 species of tropical birds up close. After a long day of watersports and beach activities, visitors can enjoy many fine and casual dining restaurants on the island or peruse the island's shops and nightlife spots. Map
