Hi Kimberly,

My name is Mark.聽 I have lived in Belmopan. Belize from 1993.聽 In reply to your question we have alternatives for living by the sea here.聽 On the main land you have Corazal which is located in the north by the Mexican border.聽 A peaceful, mainly Spanish community who also speak English with some expats living their.聽 Then in the Stann Creek District you have Hopkins Village and Placencia.聽 The beaches here to me are better than Corozal.聽聽 Both Hopkins and Placencia have a lot of Expats in business.聽 Resorts, Restaurants etc.. In the far south you have Punta Gorda.聽 Then you have the different Cayes.聽 San Pedro and Caye Caulker.聽 San Pedro being more expensive and a bee hive for the tourists.聽 Caye Caulker a little more reserved but still busy.聽 These are some of your options but I recommend you come for a visit.聽 Stay on the main land, rent a car and visit some of the places for yourself.聽 Then head out to the Cayes before you go home to get a feel for the different places.聽 If you have any more questions you can email me at mark195@live.com.聽 I do not know everything but I have a lot of experience from living here.
