About us
Friends of Cape Haze (FOCH) was founded in 2003 in response to plans to develop a high-rise hotel called Bahia Limon in an area south of the current Hacienda development. FOCH led a group of homeowners’ associations and individuals in a successful effort to deter the high-rise hotel plans which were clearly incompatible with the neighborhood.
Our mission
To communicate and inform Cape Haze residents and other interested parties, of local environmental and safety issues, and to advocate, with other organizations, the protection of these ecological and quality of life issues through appropriate actions.

At Friends of Cape Haze, we are committed to fostering sustainable development while protecting the integrity of our community. Our accomplishments reflect our dedication to preserving the unique character of our community while allowing for responsible development that benefits all residents. We continue to advocate for balanced growth and the protection of our environment.
Our commitment
During the 18 years of its existence, FOCH has not objected to a landowner doing what the laws and regulations say they are allowed to do. FOCH has devoted its efforts to ensuring compliance with existing laws and protections. It will continue to be alert to issues involving ANY destructive development of the Cape Haze Peninsula that threatens the safety of its residents or endangers it very special environment.
