from a friend who spent many many years on Caye Caulker....
Geez! I´m on Caye Caulker and yesterday coming from the SPLIT crowded with sunbathing and swimming tourists, I had to step aside from a car being driven by somebody. Cars and Trucks are forbidden on Caye Caulker. The tourist package is GO SLOW and barefoot on sandy streets. The biggest vehicle allowed is a golf cart. I sure hope the TOWN COUNCIL jump on whoever owns that car and get it off the island. That thing will grind up the street coarse sand into fine talcum powder and cause no end of trouble with sand storms into homes and shops. They tell me over on Ambergris Caye, the traffic is so bad, 2 people a week are knocked down by vehicles. Not for Caye Caulker surely?
response from another friend....
Each of the last three times I've been on Caye Caulker in the last three years, I have seen at least one car. I also thought that motor vehicles were prohibited on the island but I guess if you have enough money, you can do whatever you like.
