How to Get to St. George’s Caye, Belize (And Why It’s Worth It)

Just eight miles off the coast of Belize City lies St. George’s Caye. This quiet and historic island feels worlds away from the bustle of the mainland. Though it may not be as frequently mentioned as larger islands like Ambergris Caye or Caye Caulker, and takes a bit more planning to get to, trust us when we say it’s just a vibrant. 

Welcome to St. George’s Caye

Ever visited someplace where time seems to slow down and all worldly worries seem to fade away? Experience just that on idyllic St. George’s Caye. This tiny island found off the coast of Belize City packs a big punch as far as relaxing destinations go. Though its most renowned for being the location of Belize’s famed Battle of St. George’s Caye, today the island also serves as a lowkey and laidback vacation spot, whether for a day or a week.

Getting to St. George’s Caye usually requires chartering a boat or booking a private transfer. When staying with us at Casa Al Mar, however, all your transportation worries are covered by us. That includes having your own private boat and captain to get you to the island.

Step 1: Arrive in Belize City

Whether you’re flying into Philip Goldson International Airport (BZE) or arriving from another destination within Belize, most journeys to St. George’s Caye begin in Belize City. From there, your island escape is just minutes away.

Step 2: Hop on Your Private Boat

Guests of Casa Al Mar skip the hassle of planning transportation and instead enjoy a private boat transfer, included in every booking. Upon arrival in Belize City, your captain will be waiting to escort you across calm Caribbean waters directly to your vacation home on the island. In under 25 minutes, you’ll step onto the island feeling like you’ve discovered a hidden paradise.

Why the Journey to St. George’s Caye Is Worth It

While the boat ride itself is scenic and refreshing, it’s what awaits you that makes St. George’s Caye so special. The island is peaceful and low-traffic, with no shops, bars, or large hotels—just sea, sun, and serenity. At Casa Al Mar, you’ll enjoy the entire house to yourself, a private dock, and a staff dedicated to making your stay unforgettable.
