Go slow on a car-free island
Caye Caulker is Ambergris Caye's smaller, more laid-back neighbour, a narrow island where the streets are sand and the local motto is 'go slow'. There are no cars and few buildings taller than the palms. The Split, a channel cut through the island by a hurricane, is the place to swim and watch the sunset from the bar. Snorkelling trips visit the barrier reef, and manatees are sometimes seen nearby. Accommodation is mostly simple and affordable by Belizean standards.
