Tobacco Caye

Tobacco Caye is a tiny coral island in the heart of the Belize Barrier Reef and part of the South Water Caye Marine Reserve. Covering just a few hectares, the car-free island consists of a small collection of simple guesthouses, palm trees, and sandy paths. Tobacco Caye is best known for its exceptional location, with vibrant coral reefs beginning just a short distance from the shore, offering outstanding opportunities for snorkeling and scuba diving. Far removed from mass tourism and modern distractions, life on the island revolves around the sea, fresh local seafood, and the soothing sound of waves breaking on the reef. Tobacco Caye is widely regarded as one of the most authentic places to experience the remarkable marine life of the Belize Barrier Reef.
