Right where Belize’s new Coastal Highway comes closest to the sea, we are offering many acres of prime beachfront land. This is pristine, elevated, Caribbean Beach ~ plus Seaside Lagoon Beach ~ much of it with good road access. A few are magnificent boat-access properties, near village docks, with space for airstrips ~ and also accessible by the most amazing boat tour you ever experienced. . . The Good Lord is just not making places like this anymore.
This is the closest private-destination-resort area to Belize’s international airport, only 59 minutes by car (9 minutes by air). The Coastal Highway was recently realigned and paved to international standards, so this mostly-undeveloped region is now being offered to investors. With careful and sustainable practices, we can develop these spectacular properties in harmony with nature and the historic local culture.
InTheTropics Network has been living & creating tropical safe havens here for many years. We know this Manatee/ Southern Lagoon/ Coastal Road area like nobody else. We appreciate the importance of the Gales Point Wildlife Sanctuary, and we are dedicated to maintaining this IUCN Category IV Marine Wildlife Sanctuary in its healthy, natural state.
Where is it? Go to GoogleEarth© and search for “Gales Point, Belize“. You will see an incredible 2-mile- long peninsula jutting into a vast seaside lagoon & estuary system, collectively called the “Southern Lagoon” area. Around it a 9,000+ acre lagoon is fed by 7 pure jungle rivers flowing from the nearby forested hills and jungle mountains. The water then flows into the wild & scenic Manatee Bar River and into the Caribbean Sea, about 19 miles due south of Belize City. Offshore are the islands of the MesoAmerican Barrier Reef, a Caribbean playground amidst the most verdant coral reefs in the world.
These very ocean beaches are the most important Hawksbill Turtle nesting beaches in the western Caribbean. Offshore are the islands of the MesoAmerican Barrier Reef, a Caribbean playground amidst the most verdant coral reefs in the world.
Our property offerings extend from north of the Manatee Bar River Mouth almost to the Sibun River, and south to Colson’s Point. It includes many miles of Caribbean beach on the east, and then west to the beaches, hills, and tributaries of the Southern, Western, and Sapodilla Lagoons. Inside a mile-wide isthmus are the lagoon-front properties, which offer excellent safe harbor dock locations for your ocean vessels. Several of these properties are on the isthmus ~ with beaches on both shores ~ sunrise & sunset ~ ocean & seaside lagoon. All these properties are along Belize’s coastal flight path. Several have areas surveyed for private airstrips and heliports.
We have by now (April 2025) sold most of our smaller (less than 10 acre) beach properties. What we are offering here is investment-grade property, in one of the most unique and pristine tropical locations in the world; in a safe, peaceful, and relaxed English speaking country; where the value of waterfront and agricultural land has continued to appreciate for over a century. Many of these properties are already legally subdivided. Subdivision is simple. Building codes are reasonable. Fresh water is abundant. Solar & wind power usage are widespread and easily accomplished. Grid power follows the Coastal Highway, but only along this 7-mile area.
Belize’s property tax and other taxes are crazy-low. Banks are modern. Its transparent legal system is based on English law, almost like Canada-on-the-Caribbean. The population density here is among the lowest in the Americas.
