Hat's Off to the Redneck Riviera

I have the hardship assignment of putting together a Feasibility Study and Conceptual Design for a Wastewater Collection and Treatment system on the Placencia Peninsula, Belize. This 15 mile stretch of beach along the east coast of Central America is considered one of the most pristine of beaches in the region, and it is undoubtedly nice, beautiful, culturally interesting, relaxing...

But for one who grew up a 6 hr drive (plus 30 minutes stop in Dothan to pick up a speeding ticket) up the highway from the Redneck Riviera, generally every other beach in the world pales in comparison. I'm only speaking of the quality of the sand and water; the scenery is pure bonus.
