Tobacco Caye

Tobacco Caye is a tiny island in Belize, about 10 miles (16 kilometres) east of Dangriga.

It has a permanent population of about 20, and sees a regular stream of travelers thanks to the five small lodges on the island.

[1] Tobacco Caye lies within the South Water Caye Marine Reserve, part of Belize's national system of protected waters, with a range of restrictions on fishing.

[2] The earliest known European chart to indicate Tobacco Caye was by the British geographer J. Speer in 1771.

The station also gives information to tourists and runs night snorkels and educational lectures.
