There are no cars on Caye Caulker, so the locals get around on golf carts! There is an overwhelming relaxing feel to the island, so say good by to your shoes as you will wander bare foot around the sandy streets. The island was split in two during a hurricane in the 1960's cutting off the northern part, which remains largely undeveloped to this day. The 50m wide channel in between is affectionately known as "The Split" and is a focal point to the island for swimming and relaxing in a hammock at the "Lazy Lizard".
