'''Caye Chapel''' is a small, private island in [[Belize]], {{convert|16|mi|km}} north-northeast of [[Belize City]] and {{convert|3|mi|km}} south of [[Caye Caulker]]. It was once owned by [[Isaiah Emmanuel Morter]], Belize's first African millionaire. <br />
<br />
Caye Chapel is adjacent to the [[Bacalar Chico National Park and Marine Reserve]] (BCNPMR), a [[UNESCO World Heritage Site]].<ref>{{cite news |title=Belize Reef Removed from UNESCO Danger List |url=https://www.travelpulse.com/news/destinations/belize-reef-removed-from-unesco-danger-list.html |accessdate=29 March 2020 |work=[[TravelPulse]]}}</ref> BCNPMR is part of the [[Mesoamerican Barrier Reef System]], the world's second longest barrier reef, which is home to the [[Great Blue Hole]] and other popular SCUBA diving destinations accessible from Caye Chapel.<br />
<br />
In comparison to other typically rural [[caye]]s and islands in the vicinity, it features an [[Caye Chapel Airport|airstrip]], 18 hole [[golf course]], {{convert|25000|sqft|m2|adj=on}} clubhouse and conference facilities.{{citation needed|date=May 2014}} The golf course, named White Shark Golf Course, was co-designed by former PGA Tour player and World Golf Hall of Fame member [[Greg Norman]], alongside former LPGA Tour player and World Golf Hall of Fame member [[Lorena Ochoa]]. The golf course is situated within the middle area of the 280 acre island, with the southernmost point of the golf course situated beside the Caye Chapel airstrip.<br />
