There was also The Cove at Placencia. Placencia Village was used as an adverture training centre (windsurfing, sailing, canoeing, sub aqua, etc). The Cove was further around the bay, right on the beach. It had a small airstrip behind, used by the owner; an ex-USAF pilot called Bill something (my memory's not what it was).

In the mid-80s many a 25 Flt Gazelle trip would detour to visit Bill on the way to or from Punta Gorda.

Looking back now, I can't believe some of the stuff we got away with in Belize. Happy days, great flying.
