Front Street is full of brightly coloured wooden houses, shops, restaurants and small hotels. The Barrier Reef is visible from the shore and is fantastic for diving and snorkelling.
The Split, at the north end of the village, a channel cut through the island by Hurricane Hattie in 1961, is a very popular gathering place for a nice swimming area and a popular spot to watch the sunset.
The northern tip of the Caye forms the Caulker Forest & Marine Reserves. This reserve became necessary after developers began clearing the native tree species leaving only the coconut trees.
The backside (west side) of the island is where you will find fishermen cleaning their fish, working on lobster traps or mending their nets in the morning. The main fish are groupers, barracuda, snapper and amberjack, which are all good eating.
