diving, snorkling, swimming, beach

The place I'm writing about is not Dangriga (don't even waste time there), but a tiny island called Tobacco Caye (as big as a football field), which is 45 min. off the coast from Dangriga. In Dangriga, take a boat (small lancha) to the island, if you're by yourself you might have to wait for other travellers to fill up a boat (about 4-5 needed).

The island is awesome, few tourists, no cars, you can swim or snorkel right off the beach (unilke in Caye Caulker or San Pedro) and all places (6 'hotels') are family style run, meaning you get your meals included in the price (ranges are $30 - $150 a night) and sit with all others from your hotel at the same table. The place I stayed at was called Paradise Lounge, I can only recommend it.

There are also two dive shops on the island (diving is a bit cheaper than on Caye Caulker or San Pedro), and 3 bars to have a nice cold Belikin beer.
