FOR THE MOST POPULAR GATHERING HOLE ON THE ISLAND…
A sunny place for shady people, The Lazy Lizard Bar and Grill is arguably the island’s most popular hub for food, drink, relaxation, and endless lounging on the beach. Built alongside The Split over 25 years ago, the bar beckons both visitors and locals alike to enjoy sun-drenched activities whilst sipping cocktails and sampling freshly caught seafood as the pulse of island life flows through the air.
FOR SMOOTHIES, DOUGHNUTS, AND COLOURFUL HAMMOCKS…
More than just a restaurant, Ice and Beans is a Caye Caulker institution. This beachfront café is not only one of the most well-established restaurants on the island, but it also consistently remains one of the busiest. Offering build-your-own smoothies and freshly fried mini-doughnuts, Ice and Beans is also famous for its outdoor dining area, complete with hammocks, beach lounges, and ocean views that extend beyond the horizon.

FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO SUPPORT A GOOD CAUSE…
Whilst volunteering may not be on everybody’s to-do list during their holiday, taking time to support local causes and make a difference, no matter how small, should not be overlooked. The Caye Caulker Animal Shelter – an entirely not-for-profit, no-kill shelter – takes care of all the cats and dogs across the island. Here, you can take a few hours out of your day to spend cuddling the animals and even take a shelter dog for a walk around the island.
FOR AN EXHILARATING UNDERWATER ADVENTURE…
Glide along with the stingrays, nurse sharks, and even manatees with the Caye Caulker Marine Reserve Full Day Snorkeling and Marine Life Tour. This fun, eco-friendly way to explore the coral reefs allows you to experience the aquatic world in a whole new light. The tour provides you with equipment, a fresh lunch, and even underwater GoPro photos to forever capture the memories.
