She's from there so we would have a shite ton of connections but just can pull the trigger on moving there. I told her that we can go over other weekend or more, which is only a 2 hour drive from here

You're trading one badass place for another. Aren't you in Fairhope?

Destin, FL
Mexico Beach, FL
Navarre, FL
Fort Walton Beach, FL

Love Destin.
Haven't been to Navarre since it got really built up.
Ft Walton was the place to go when I was young and partying.
Never been to Mexico Beach. I Googled Mapped it. It looks like a sleepy little town.

I would LOVE to live in this town. But Water is fricking COLD.

Destin has beautiful Beaches but sucky town.


Right answer is Clearwater down to Sarasota area for Proximity to nice big city and awesome beaches.

My only problem with CA beaches is the water temperature. San Diego is as far south as you can get, and its water only gets up to 75 degrees in the summer. That's pretty cold.

Lots of east coast beaches get into the 80s.

So I guess I'd pick Miami if I were only interested in the beach.

I'd probably pick somewhere in CA because I love mountains and hiking more than I love the beach. Miami is great, but CA appeals to me more. I could live anywhere on the coast except for LA.

I'm tempted to apply for a job in Santa Barbara, but I'm in NYC right now and I really like it here. There's good hiking and good beaches just a short train ride away.

All gulf coast beach cities are trash. Atlantic Coast is less trashy in the middle and northern states.

West coast is least trashy.

Actually the LA beach towns are some of the best in the world.... Malibu, pacific palisades, Manhattan beach, Santa Monica(although more of a city). Technically barely any part of the city of Los Angeles touches the ocean.

Navarre houses are really cheap compared to Niceville, Fort Walton, and Destin. If you are retired and want to work on the water like you state then I would suggest Navarre for the house prices. I wouldn't live out there due to the commute to Eglin AFB everyday, not to mention a wreck on 98 causes stand still traffic. Now with spring break and summer just around the corner, traffic is going to be terrible.

I'm actually debating these two places right now. Which one did you prefer and why?

Especially on the space coast /Brevard County.


Merrit Island, Viera, Cocoa Beach, Satellite Beach, Melbourne Beach, Indian Harbour, etc



Lived in Brevard for few years, it's affordable, but from cocoa to melbourne beach, i found it to be really rocky, shin killers.
