by bus
The outbound Caribe buses leave from beside the lighthouse at 0500 and 1400, and return to the second class bus station only. You can also board the bus from the south end of town just before the Tourist Information Office.
by boat to belize
You can arrange a boat to Caye Caulker' in Belize at one of the dive shops or with one of the "Captain"s in town. The crossing is smooth and relatively quick. Immigration can however by a problem. There are no banks in XCalak the nearest is in Chetumal and so you would need to pay your Tourist Card FMT before arriving in XCalak. There also appears not to be an active as of March 2009 immigration office in XCalak, the closest is in Mahahual.
