Caye (pronounced "key") Caulker is supposed to be the tourist destination for the non-tourist. Bohemian even, says a few guidebooks. I didn’t see many bohemians on Caulker but there were plenty of Belizeians having fun on the beach. Maybe they’re considered bohemians. I just can’t say.

After trying our luck as first time snorklers, we soothed our sunburns and headed where you go when you’re done snorking, the Sandbox.

Al Fresco dining in Caye Caulker is usually accompanied by liberal quantities of sand but in the case of the Sandbox, you’ll find it inside too. Strangely though the restrooms are exempt. The single entry women’s had a strange red light, dishwashing soap and a tile floor. Men’s had a yellow light and tile. The toilet top and vanity were made of wood.
