Before 1961’s Hurricane Hattie, Tobacco Caye had a school, church and, as the name suggests, tobacco plantations. It is now the size of a football pitch. There are a couple of all-inclusive places to stay and a bar or two. I stayed in a cabana at Paradise Lodge built over the reef. It was basic but Miss Celia and Miss Junie cooked delicious meals. Snorkel, relax in a hammock, sleep off your food or take boat trips.
