Tobacco Bay
A small bay on the north shore of St. George's, ringed by limestone reefs, with calm, shallow water. It is one of the island's most popular snorkelling spots.
Tobacco Bay takes its name from the tobacco early settlers found here. The bay is enclosed by oddly shaped reefs, and its water is clear and calm. Around the reefs live parrotfish, blue tangs and other tropical fish. The beach has a snack bar, changing rooms and snorkel rentals, and on summer weekends it takes on a party atmosphere. It is about a 15-minute walk from St. George's, and can be combined with Fort St. Catherine and Alexandra Battery into a half-day outing.
