Caye Caulker is a beautiful island only a short boat ride off the coast of Belize City. When we arrived, we were greeted by a friendly man eager to help us find accommodations. We got to ride around the island on his tricycle, while we looked for the cheapest place to stay.
Caye Caulker was previously only one island, but now this island is split into two sections. If you ask how the island was split, many people will tell you that it was caused by a hurricane in 1961, but the reality is that this divide in the island was man made.
The most popular hangout on the island is right on this divide, at the Lazy Lizard bar. People gather on the small beach at the divide, have drinks, and swim. This island has a lot of character. As you walk around, you will find people selling lots of interesting things. There is one man on the island who makes delicious home made tamales. During our time there, our favorite salesman was a very vocal man with intense desire to sell "Sea weed and oysters - natural aphrodisiacs!"
