If you're after a bit of island time on a budget, this pirate-themed resort on a tiny island about 12 miles from Placencia is a fun place for a day trip. Naturally there's a restaurant and bar, and water sports such as kayaks, paddleboards, fishing and snorkeling gear. Or just laze around in the hammock.

Boats leave daily at 8:30am from a booking office in Placencia village, returning at 4:30pm.
