What should I pack when moving to Caye Caulker?

Answer this Question

We asked people living in Caye Caulker to list three things they wish they had brought and three they wish they had left behind. They responded...

"When moving to Caye Caulker, you should pack lightweight and breathable clothing due to the tropical climate. Include items such as shorts, t-shirts, tank tops, and sundresses. Don't forget to pack a few swimsuits, as you'll likely spend a lot of time in the water. A light rain jacket or umbrella would be useful for the rainy season. Pack plenty of sun protection, including a wide-brimmed hat, sunglasses, and high-SPF sunscreen. You should also bring insect repellent to protect against mosquitoes. Comfortable walking shoes or sandals are a must, as the island is mostly car-free and you'll be doing a lot of walking or biking. If you plan on participating in water activities, consider packing water shoes and snorkeling gear. Bring all necessary toiletries and medications, as they may be more expensive or difficult to find on the island. This includes any prescription medications, contact lens solution, and personal hygiene items. Pack a reusable water bottle to stay hydrated and reduce plastic waste. If you're planning on cooking, you might want to bring some of your favorite spices or non-perishable food items, as the selection on the island can be limited. Don't forget your passport, driver's license, and any other necessary identification. You should also bring copies of important documents, such as your birth certificate, medical records, and insurance policies. Lastly, pack a good book, a camera, and any other items that will help you relax and enjoy your new island home," explained one expat living in Caye Caulker, Belize.
