I am born/raised in (North) Florida (Jacksonville). There are at least 4/5 Floridas:
1) Northeast-Jax. to Cocoa Beach
2) Southeast-Miami
3) Keys
4) Southwest-Tampa and south
5) Panhandle-Destin to P'cola
Each has its own flavors/cost/+/-...

Typical morning on a day off. Hop in the boat, cruise downtown for coffee.
Wait, what am I saying, NO don’t come to Beaufort SC, it’s horrible, you’ll hate it!

I don't think Florida would be a bad choice.

Which is most affordable? I will have to be able to pay cash with what I can get from the sale of my current home. Don't want a mortgage payment. I will do some research obviously but real life input is appreciated.

I always dreamed of boating in the salty Gulf and then cruising up a fresh water spring-fed river (washing/flushing the boat) as I headed to my dock. I think this is a fantasy...but it is my boating nirvana.
The Redneck Riviera (Panama City and west) has skyrocketed (as I am sure other areas have).

Don't move to California unless you are a multi-millionaire or an illegal alien.

WE have been on the West coast of Florida in Punta Gorda for 22 years
and really like it here. 2 boats right behind the house. 40 foot Sea Ray in the water and a
15 Whaler that is kept on a lift.

I'd go to Florida in a heartbeat if I could. Although living on the water in Louisiana isn't bad either. I know it's getting cold up north when my flock of geese show up every year

2. I did recommend here- but it’s not for everyone. I see lots come and go. Double digits ea year. Cost of living is quite high. Culture is hard to learn. Healthcare is beyond bad.
3. Work brought me here. Don’t know if I’ll ever leave. If I did, it’d be Florida or Texas. I grew up in IN and travelled for work.

I was stationed at Pearl for about a year when I was in the service..... The first couple of months was incredible, the next couple months we ok, after the next couple months after that, I have been everywhere and done everything 6 times, I live on a phucking rock in the middle of the ocean, I need a drink !!!
