Caye Caulker LobsterFest June 26th-28th
Caye Caulker, the birthplace of the first LobsterFest, is built around a weekend of food, drink, music, and entertainment of all kinds. Caye Caulker may be a bit less expensive for visitors than its nearby neighbor to the north, San Pedro. LobsterFest has its own unique twist in each of the three locales. The festival here on Caye Caulker includes revelers who show up dressed in white expecting to be sprayed with paints in all colors, a nod to the Indian festival of Holi. In addition, teen girls vie for the title of Miss LobsterFest in a beauty pageant.
About Caye Caulker
Caye Caulker is located about in the Caribbean Sea about ten miles south of San Pedro, Ambergris Caye and one mile west of Meso-American Reef. It is a five-mile-long island and less than one mile wide. The small town on the island is called Caye Caulker Village. The population of Caye Caulker is approximately 2,000 people. The weather is nearly perfect year around for watersports activities of all types, including diving, snorkeling, and fishing. Its proximity to the mainland also makes for a perfect jumping off spot for Maya ruin tours and other jungle adventures like cave tubing and zip lining.
