If you are
thinking about retirement in Belize,
then perhaps your best choice would be in Ambergris Caye, one of the premier
retirement spots within Belize. Let’s find out more about this beautiful spot
in Belize.
Why Ambergris?
Perhaps one of
the biggest considerations would be the prices of the properties in the
area. These properties are quite
affordable but in premier locations, just a couple of steps from the beautiful
beach. The community is quite lovely as well, and the streets, particularly in
San Pedro, are also filled with shops, bars and restaurants that can fill your
days with fun-filled activities.
Retirees, more
often than not, want to spend their days in tranquil surroundings and permitting
them to relax and enjoy the rest of their lives. Spending their time under the
shade of palm trees or snorkeling around the 2nd largest coral reefs
and swimming with the fishes or enjoying a dunk in the Caribbean Sea.
The beautiful
view can be quite relaxing, seeing the tropical plants fill your window and
catching the cool breeze from the sea will surely make you feel like you’re in
paradise. People in Ambergris are also quite friendly and the small community,
only about 15,000 total population for the whole island, makes it a really
close knit community. You are bound to bump into someone you know when you go
to the store to buy some supplies and you will surely get side-tracked along
the way. For those individuals who are
still looking to take an active part in the community, can easily fill their
time by volunteering around the community.
