Belize
Seaside tourism in Belize is nothing new. When a country has Caribbean Sea beaches with exotic marine life, it would be foolish not to show it off to visitors. Other than that, Belize used to be home to the ancient Mayan empire, and it has the ruins to prove it.
The climate, wildlife, and low cost of living make Belize ideal for Americans to move to if they ever feel like a change of scenery.
