First things first! How to pronounce Caye Caulker: "key corker"
Now that you know how to pronounce our name, let’s talk about the facts.
Caye Caulker is a small limestone coral island off the coast of Belize in the Caribbean Sea measuring about 5 miles / 8.0 km (north to south) by less than 1 mile / 1.6 km (east to west).
The center of the island is known by the name Caye Caulker Village. Our population of Caye Caulker is approximately 2,000 people today and still growing.
Caye Caulker is located approximately 20 miles / 32 km north-northeast of Belize City. The island is an approximately 45-minute high-speed water taxi ride from Belize City or an 8-minute fight from Belize International Airport with Tropic Air or Mayan Air on a small plane.
Wait A Minute... Why Go Slow?
Caye Caulker - Go Slow!
This sign in the sand used to greet you as soon as you stepped off the water taxi. The sign is no longer there, but our motto hasn't changed!
GO SLOW !
“Go Slow” is the motto of Caye Caulker. Back in the days, the speed limit signs used to say “Go Slow”. We don’t have cars. We have bicycles and a few golf carts. Not that anybody can go really fast on a golf cart, a bike, or by walking, but you may be reminded to go slow even if you walk too fast!
People here not only say “Go Slow”, they live it. Nothing happens fast on the island, be it on the street or at a restaurant. There’s no reason to hurry. Stop and enjoy the views of the crystal-clear Caribbean Sea. Stop and talk to a random person. Stop to look at the iguana crossing the sandy streets. Stop and play with one of the dogs roaming the island (no, most of them are not homeless…).
Stop for whatever you feel like. Just stop and go slow!
Taking your time and enjoying the moment is only one of the many reasons for WHY CAYE CAULKER.
Speed Limit - Go Slow!
Don't walk too fast! Our speed limit is strictly enforced...
