A lot of the expats in Placencia are retirees or they have second homes, so they split half their time in the States and half their time in Placencia. Most of the retirees in Placencia are age 45 and up. They are part of the older, retiring, or second-home expat crowd.In general, the retirees in Placencia are very nice people. Belize attracts friendly, warm, and open personalities. This is part of the Belizean culture, so like-minded people just gravitate towards that.

The retirees in Placencia are mostly Americans and Canadians, probably a result of them being able to access direct flights from the US or Canada into Belize, the British-based legal system and that Belize is English speaking. So for them, it’s much more convenient to get a second home in Placencia or retire.
