La Isla Cariñosa | The Friendly Island

Caye Caulker is a 5.5-mile scenic island where life moves slow, conversations are easy, and the days revolve around the water. Known for its vibrant marine life, delicious food, and stunning sunsets, this small island off the coast of Belize embodies the country’s signature go slow philosophy. It’s the kind of place where you’ll quickly learn the faces of community mainstays and leave feeling genuinely connected to the people you met. If you’re drawn to chill, laid-back vibes and smaller islands that feel simple and lived-in, Caye Caulker is an easy recommendation and a hard place to say goodbye to.

Caye Caulker is a 5.5-mile scenic island off the coast of Belize with the friendliest people, amazing marine life, great food, and brilliant sunsets. You’ll definitely get to know people before you leave, and it’s truly a joy to do so. Life moves slower here, and that’s part of the charm. Barefoot strolls along three main streets, a tray full of jerk chicken, beans and rice—it’s so easy to feel at home.

You should know that Caye Caulker is known for fryjacks, a traditional Belizean dish that is deep fried dough stuffed with various items, and lobster, the seafood that was once their largest export. You’ll also find some Caribbean classics like stewed chicken and Cubano sandwiches. The slogan in Caye Caulker is “go slow” and I would add “eat good.”

I visited Caye Caulker in 2021 when many Covid restrictions were still very much in effect, so there were some experiences that I had planned and scheduled that I could not do, for example the plane ride over The Great Blue Hole and snorkeling. Having said that, I still made the most of my time with some very unique and spontaneous activities that, although relatively simple, were a lot of fun.
