The Belize Gold Coast is one of the most prestigious areas on the windward side of the island on Ambergris Caye. This unassuming country is fast becoming a mecca for adventure-st, travelers and retiree’s alike. With Hol Chan Marine Reserve and Shark Ray Alley only 1/2 mile to the east and the Marco Gonzalez Mayan Ruins 1/4 mile to the west this is the prime location on Ambergris Caye. The activities are endless, so whether you enjoy sport fishing, diving, sailing, golfing or just a cocktail on the beach with a magnificent view, Belize Gold Coast is the place you’ll want to be.
Water and electricity has been extended into the Gold Coast and already there are many luxury homes being built there as well. This makes Ambergris Caye an amazing opportunity for those special few who choose to partake in the adventure of a lifetime by owning their own piece of paradise here.
When to Go/Seasons
In Belize the high season for tourists corresponds roughly with the dry season: November to June. The shoulder months – especially December – receive a fair amount of rain, but not enough to scare away the multitudes of travelers who want to spend their holidays in the tropics. Most hotels and resorts are more expensive during this period. Owning your own place here, saves a lot of money as opposed to staying in the resort hotels. Plus, when you’re not using your home here, you can always rent it out as a vacation rental, and create a very good revenue stream.
The biggest influx of tourists comes between December 15 and January 15, and during the weeks around Easter. Some hotels and resorts, especially top-end accommodations, charge extra-high prices during these peak periods. If you’re using top-end or some mid range accommodations, you’ll certainly save money by avoiding these seasons.
The rainy season runs from June to November. The early months, especially May and June, are actually a wonderful time to travel to Belize: you can avoid the tourist bustle and lodging is slightly cheaper. southern Belize is especially precarious during the rainy season; this relatively remote region receives two to three times as much rain as the northern parts of the country.

Investing in Belize
Belize is a leading Caribbean offshore banking jurisdiction located in northern Central America. Many visitors to this country are intrigued about offshore banking. The growth in international travel, and the increasing use of the Internet to make a living or help manage businesses from afar, has led to the growing use of offshore banking and offshore trusts to help manage income, money and assets. Many modern-day entrepreneurs and others have made the decision to relocate or diversify their financial affairs and open offshore accounts.
As a premier offshore banking center, Belize offers unique advantages. You can fly here (under two hours from the U.S.A.) or actually drive down from North America.
Belize is a mainland country with hundreds of offshore islands. Of course you can also sail on down on your catamaran or yacht. After all the country is also a highly regarded offshore Merchant Marine Registry as well and serves as a marine registry for several private and publicly traded shipping companies around the world.
The year 2012 marks the 22nd anniversary of the birth of Belize’s international financial services industry. Starting from scratch in 1990, this offshore banking center has built up a thriving financial services business. It now offers a variety of offshore structures geared to the needs of international investors. These include international business companies, international trusts, protected cell companies, limited liability partnerships, mutual funds, captive and other forms of insurance, international foundations, Forex and securities trading, open ships registry, and a host of other related services.
Why Belize For Offshore Banking?
Noted American writer Bruce Barcott describes Belize thus: “Belize is a tiny nation tucked between Guatemala, Mexico, and the Caribbean Sea. It is firmly attached to Central America but considers itself a Caribbean island. For more than a hundred years Belize was known as British Honduras, one of the most remote outposts of the British Empire, which explains why it is the only Latin American nation to embrace English as its official language. Belize goes unnoticed by the rest of the world, and over the years the country has parlayed its obscurity into an attractive asset. For those shipwrecked on the shoals of life, Belize offers a new beginning.”
