Caye Chapel from the air

Caye Chapel is a small, privately owned island in Belize, 16 miles (26 km) north-northeast of Belize City and 3 miles (4.8 km) south of Caye Caulker. It was once owned by Isaiah Emmanuel Morter, Belize's first coloured millionaire.[1]

In comparison to other typically rural cayes and islands in the vicinity, it features an airstrip, 18 hole golf course, 25,000-square-foot (2,300 m2) clubhouse and conference facilities. The golf course was designed by Patrick Horvat from Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada. His company, Tee Time International Inc along with the island's owner built the course over two winters, nine holes each time.

It is possible to snorkel and fish around the island.
