Visas & entry
A traveler's account of Caye Caulker manages expectations around the island's "Go Slow" motto: there's no real beach here, just brief strips of sand between docks, so the actual draw is the relaxed pace, colorful wooden buildings, and easy access to snorkeling and diving on the nearby Belize Barrier Reef. Her advice was not to rush the visit, recommending at least five nights and ideally a full week, with December through April as the dry season worth planning a trip around if timing allows.
