Beautiful beaches , lovely people. Cost of living is very high and we cannot find a company to insure our home. Salt water attacks the condition of your home and makes it very expensive to live this close to the ocean. Retired couples struggle with the high cost of maintaining their homes, and often the homes deteriorate. Shopping is very limited . Restaurants are expensive because this is a tourist area . Definitely not a retirement friendly area.
