Caye Caulker has a long history of trying to build beaches – only to have them reclaimed by the tides, or occupied by some developer. But, the island called "Carinosa" continues to push for a beach, and a beach it has. The Belize Tourism Board sponsored a project which reclaimed 1,883 linear feet of the beach with widths varying from 70 to 118 feet. It runs between the Sobre las Olas restaurant to Rainbow Restaurant, and then there are widths varying from 40 to 60 feet in areas between Blue Island pier to Len's Guest House. The BTB reports that 22,000 cubic yards of material were pumped unto the beach.

The project goes along with the establishment of an improved craft centre for local artisans in Caye Caulker.
