Recently Warren Mudry and Alex Bors announced their new development LAGUNA MAYA. Their web site I Love Belize describes a unique opportunity to be a part of a very classy and well situated gated living area. Located in Corozal, Belize close to Chetumal Bay, Laguna Maya is uniquely situated close to the Free Trade Zone with its wide variety of shopping. Chetumal,Mexico is just another short distance across the river from the trade zone.At night, in the distance , the lights of Chetumal can be seen on the horizon.
With its close proximity to Corozal and the bay, water taxis leave daily from Corozal for San Pedro on Ambergis Caye. San Pedro is a hot spot for local and international tourists. Many different water related activities can be found there- scuba diving, snorkeling the reef, para gliding and the different types of sport fishing(Just be sure to have your fishing license,check past post). From San Pedro the water taxis not only return to Corozal but go to Caye Caulker and Belize City. If a little woozy from the partying there is also a local flight from San Pedro back to Corozal or Belize City or other locations in Belize, Guatamaula, Mexico and Honduras. Corozal is also connected by bus to Mexico going north and south the highways are well developed for local travel( see previous post on driving in Belize).

Warren and Alex have been in Belize for many years and can help the traveling tourist, dedicated ‘Snow Birds’, or the long term retirement minded person with suitable accomadations. Their video of Laguna Maya shows the project under construction and future planning.

Yesterday I posted the oily beaches of the U.S. Gulf Coast. Today, I post about the beautiful, pristine beaches of Belize. You might also check the past posting I have made in March and April of Belize beaches.

Over the past several weeks the BP oil blow out has spouted many,many barrels of oil into the Gulf of Mexico and causing oily beaches all over the U.S. Gulf Coast. So far no real method of closing the well has become available. With the cutting of the pipe, this increased the flow of crude oil into the water. It took a few weeks for the crude or crud to reach the beaches. Now all that extra oil is on the way to the already oily beaches.
Has this affected your summer plans to go to the beach and have a relaxing romp in the waters and maybe do a little sport fishing? If it has then check out my next post!!!

Starting Thursday August 5,2010 until Sunday August 8,2010 in beautiful San Pedro, Belize is the annual La Costa Maya Pagent and Festival. Activities have been planned for the four day event including music and the pagent.

First to enter was Miss El Salvadore, Diana Ingrid Martinez Pineda. A talented and attractive young lady from La Universidad Jose Simeon Canas in El Salvadore majoring in Psycology and enjoys extreme sports.

Sartenaja Village is a short boat ride or can be reached by car or bus from Progresso Village on Progresso Lagoon. If planning a trip to this area check with Linda Cabral for a stay in on the mainland. She can help with both short and long term visits in Belize.
