The vision
Cerros Sands master-planned community
A waterfront community in Corozal, Belize, with private canal frontage and direct access to the sea.

A vision more than twenty years in the making
Mark Leonard first imagined Cerros Sands more than two decades ago. The inspiration was Marina Park in Pittsburg, California — a neighbourhood where boats sat behind ordinary houses and open water was minutes away. He wanted to build that on the Belizean coast, where the water is warm and the land is still within reach of ordinary buyers.
His family leads the project today. What began as drawings is now two phases of titled land, maintained roads, a dug canal system, beach palapas and an 18-hole disc golf course.
How the community is laid out
Cerros Sands is divided into Phase 1 and Phase 2, separated by Santa Rita Road. Every lot currently offered for sale is reachable by car on community roads. More inventory opens as additional roads and canals are completed — the channel at the north end was finished at the end of 2023.
Lots fall into two families: beachfront, fronting Lowry's Bight on the Bay of Chetumal, and canal-front, arranged in rows running back from the shoreline along the navigable waterways. Canal owners can install a private dock and reach open sea without trailering a boat.
