  1. The part where it says that Caye Caulker is only known for its beach parties where as San Pedro’s Lobsterfest is more about “exploring new and creative ways to prepare the succulent meat of the Caribbean Spiny Lobster” is the part that’s not true. Caye Caulker is where all the creative ways to eat lobster started and San Pedro is just as as much about the beach parties as Caye Caulker and Placencia -,- so whoever wrote that article should rewrite that paragraph
