Caye Caulker Belize Postcard

This postcard features Caye Caulker, Belize. It is a small limestone coral island off the coast of Belize in the Caribbean Sea. The island is made up of a sandbar over a limestone shelf. Caye Caulker remains vulnerable to direct hits from hurricanes because it has no defenses from storm surges. In modern times, there have been at least four major hurricanes which have devastated the island, the most recent of which was Hurricane Keith in 2000. Since the island is only 8 feet (2.4 m) at its highest point, a strong storm surge can easily cover the entire island which is exactly what happened during Hurricanes Hattie and Keith.
