Tiny caye off coast of Belize. Split in two by hurricane Mitch. Handful of US expats and a lot of brit/dane travellers pass through here on way to/from the Yucatan and Guatemala.
If you meet a kid named International just off the boat, trying to hook you up with a room etc, he's trustworthy.
This place is extremely laid back. Not much happens here.
There's one tiny bank which you can use to get cash via-credit from when the phones are working. Nobody takes credit here, so you're going to need cash.

| Favourite spots: |
|
Habaneros restaurant. The whole caye, really.
|
|
| What's really great: |
Mellow people. Boat trips to dive spots. Good food.
If you want to go diving, go to the end of the caye or into a dive shop, and ask for Steve. He has a small boat he takes out every day or so. He'll guide you to the reefs and then go catch lunch while you're exploring, then fry it up on the boat.

| Accommodations: |
|
Try the hotel next to the graveyard. Good rate, decent rooms. Get off the pier, turn left, and go down about 50 yards.
|
|
| Nightlife: |
|
none
|
|
| Hangouts: |
|
One small bar you'll find immediately after you get off the boat. Another small rastafarian hangout in the middle of the caye which has some nightlife, can't miss it.
|
|
| Restaurants: |
|
Habaneros. Yes, the serve the pepper. Don't eat it.
