From Monet’s atmospheric Normandy seascapes to the might of Hokusai’s Great Wave off Kanagawa to the joy of Picasso’s Two Women Running on the Beach… shorelines the world over have long proved a source of inspiration for artists.
Writers, too. Ian Fleming created James Bond at his Jamaican estate overlooking the crystal-clear Caribbean waters of Oracabessa Bay. Hemingway wrote The Old Man and the Sea while living on the island of Cuba. Daphne du Maurier conceived the idea for her famed Gothic novel Rebecca while in Cyprus and wrote it in Egypt while longing for the rugged English coastline of Cornwall…
And then of course, there’s the music… From The Drifters Under The Boardwalk to The Beach Boys Surfin’ U.S.A to Jimmy Buffett down in Margaritaville… the call of the sea and the carefree living it offers is hard to resist.
And it’s not just about nibbling on sponge cake, watching the sun bake… in fact, in Victorian times, a sojourn at the seaside was quite literally doctor’s orders.
The fresh, salty air was believed to have curative properties and recommended for those with everything from tuberculosis to leprosy to hysteria, melancholia, and more. And this wasn’t just some Victorian quackery. Indeed, today a growing body of scientific research backs up the thinking that living by the sea offers significant benefits including better mental health, improved cardiovascular fitness, and lower obesity rates and stress levels.
All this to say, life is better at the beach.
And, this July, we’d like you to join us there. More specifically, here…
This luxurious ocean-front resort just 20-minutes from downtown Panama City is where we’ll be gathering together our global team of expat experts for the 2026 Beachfront Living Event. There, during this three-day expat extravaganza, they’ll give you the inside track on how and where to live the good life by the sea in Panama, Mexico, the Dominican Republic, Portugal, Spain, Greece, Italy, and beyond.
And they’ll show you how to do it for under $2,000 a month.
So, whether you’re looking to make your retirement dream of kicking back on the beach a reality… are desperate to find a safe haven escape from chaos back home… or simply want to spend some time with likeminded souls getting away from it all while working out where best would suit your ideal lifestyle and budget, our Beachfront Living Event is for you.
It’s a one-stop shop designed to help guide you to the overseas spot that’s the right fit for you but, rest assured, our experts won’t be wearing rose-tinted glasses. They’ll give you the unfiltered ground truth about everything from taxes to traffic… costs to critters… residency to rentals… water quality, health care, shipping goods, moving pets, and a whole lot more besides.
Their goal is to help you develop an actionable plan so you can follow through on your move in as little as 12 months…
And, through it all, Live And Invest Overseas Founding Publisher Kathleen Peddicord will be your host, fielding your questions, introducing you to our in-country experts, and joining you at cocktail hour for sundowners on the shore.
Book your spot to join us here and we’ll see you at the beach.
Sincerely
Victoria Harmer
