Tobacco Caye, is a small five acre palm-fringed coral island perched on the reef. It lies just within the northern tip of South Water Caye Marine Reserve. The rangers for the reserve normally come around to collect park fees of US$10.00 for a day for up to 3 days or US$25.00 for a week.

Some of the coral is dead and most of the fishes are small. — If you already have a subscription plan login to unlock the content!
