St Augustine, Florida is a great place. I'm at my beach house as I post this.

Great beach, great town with really good bars and restaurants, great amenities for activities. We even have a concert venue that pulls some quality acts in s small venue at the Ampatheatre.

I was dumbfounded on a daily basis at the gym out there. You really have to go out there and see it to believe just how many insanely attractive women are out there.

There are tons. She said that there are bad chicks playing volleyball and doing yoga on the beach all the time. She said she said she thought that was just on T.V. and commercials. I went when I was 15 and my cousins had some top notch friends. The one I remember most was asian, black, white and mexican. She was so damn fine.

If you are single you should do it. You probably can find work in a restaurant close to the beach and find decent housing a few miles away from the beach. Just get you a bike and you are good. If you aren't big into working out, you should start. It is a way of life out there.

Kiama, Australia.

Spent 3 months here and by far the best scenery I've ever seen.

Minnamurra River


Where I spent basically everyday.

If money was no object and I could live in any "beach" city, it would be Santa Barbara with no hesitation.

I live in Florida and the entire state is a beach with plenty of small towns. Also there isn't a state income tax. Check out Cedar Key.

California beaches are too cold for me to enjoy. Id probably end up between Mississippi and the panhandle somewhere. If not, I'd pick somewhere like Roatan

How did you get that opportunity? Looks amazing


Took a year off from LSU and I have family that live a half mile from that beach. Walked there everyday. Also, picked up a small landscaping job which gave me some spending money. Miss those days.

My sister lives out there now, and doesn't even like sitting on the beach because the wind coming off of the water is cold. She is about 15-20 minutes from Huntington/Newport Beach, and has been three times in the past year. If it was warmer, she'd be out there a couple of times a week

My only problem is I want more than a servers salary. I would like to raise a non trashy family and live on the water or damn near it. So I'd need a decent job or make some money for a few years and open up my own restaurant or some sort of business

Depending on what type of job experience you have you probably can find a decent, well paying job. Housing just costs you a crap ton of money though.

My wife wants us to move and live full time in Destin

I told her I would go in a heart beat if I could find a job that the compensation and benefits are equivalent to what I have now. While it isn't impossible to find that there, it's harder to come by in a beach town

I want to move to either the Central Coast of California or a smaller beach town in Florida.
