Yes, Suriname is considered part of the Caribbean. Belize and Guyana as former British colonies and Suriname as a former Dutch colony have many cultural ties to islands [the West Indies] colonized by the British and Dutch in the Caribbean Sea. The Caribbean Sea washes upon Belize's coastline.
All three countries belong to the economic organization Caribbean Community [CARICOM]. CARICOM's headquarters are in Georgetown, Guyana. All three countries also belong to the Association of Caribbean States [ACS]. The ACS emphasizes the Caribbean region to promote cooperation in natural disasters, tourism, trade, and transport.

∙ 13y agoYes, Suriname refers to land in northern South America.
Specifically, Suriname is a country that was colonized briefly by the English and developed by the Dutch. Even though located in South America, it remained tied economically and politically as a colony of the European country of the Netherlands. But independence was granted in the 20th century and so Suriname is one of the world's many independent countries.
