Caulker or AC???

8 years ago
Which is better and please explain why. My wife were originally planning on viditing Corozal and Hopkins for a permanent hone to retire. After reading the forums it is obvious we would be happier on a Caye. Mostly because snorkling and paddle boarding 5 out of 7 days for the rest of our lives appeals greatly to us. Being on AC for example, puts tge reef eithin kayak distance as opposed to 10 miles off shore from Hopkins.

Our biggest concern is money. I onky have ssdi disability income for both of us to live on. We are in a position to buy a condo for cash though...hopefully on a beach and bewtween $200 and 300k. So that helps. Not needing a car I guess helps to. I wonder now if one island is more expensive to buy and live on compared to the other? I am pretty sure AC us larger and more populated tgan Caulker...does tgat mean it is better or less expensive? Do both places take kindly to new folks? We love to make friends and are very kind people. Very little in life upsets us or gets us angry.

Thanks in advance for all information and opinions!!!!!
