Established by British/Canadian land surveyor, planner, developer, real estate broker and romantic swashbuckler, W. N. (Bill) Wildman, the beginning of the Consejo Shores community dates back to the 1960s, when after exploring most of the Caribbean, the development founder decided to direct his efforts towards a residential project in the country then known as British Honduras, specifically, the Northern area close to the sleepy fishing village of Consejo. He had fallen in love with the beauty of the property, its idyllic seaside location with easy access to Mexico and the Cayes, and the friendliness of the local people.
