The big "Blue Hole" and the largest barrier reef in the Northern hemisphere can be found in Belizean waters.
While some families go for vacation in tropical Belize, others go there for affordable, safe, off-grid living, in this English-speaking Latin-America country. At less than half the price of U.S. living, Belize's self-sustaining resources are highly prized, and suitable for, either a primary residence, vacation home, or a prepper's safe haven. 
In Belize it's not uncommon to have a year-round garden growing in the front yard, along with a variety of free-range animals in the backyard. Everyone saves captured-rain-water in cisterns, and many take advantage of grid-free solar power from the equatorial sunshine (and it's not illegal either).
Homegrown eggs (and chicken dinners) are an inexpensive source of nutritious protein, as well as making fun pets for the kids.
Goats and sheep provide the dairy products, if you don't want cows.
Horses can provide emergency transportation, and they will mow the lawn.
Coconut, papaya, and banana trees abound in this tropical climate, and vegetable gardens grow easily year around. Plant life stays green throughout the year.
