Are you searching for the best places to retire in Florida? If so, you may be feeling overwhelmed by the possibilities. Read on for our top recommendations.
Pensacola
Pensacola, located at the very far end of the panhandle, is ideal for anybody wishing to enjoy Florida’s great weather and those magnificent Gulf Coast beaches without having to relocate to one of the main tourist spots. There is a never-ending supply of things to keep locals occupied here, including the history of the National Museum of Naval Aviation, the excitement of canoeing down the Blackwater River, and excellent fishing opportunities.
St. Augustine
St. Augustine, the oldest city in the country, is an absolute must-see for everyone who respects history. The city is located on Florida’s east coast, about 45 minutes south of Jacksonville and a little more than an hour north of Daytona Beach. St. Augustine is not just an excellent spot for history aficionados, but it also has a lot of culture, great shopping, unusual places to dine, and two very beautiful retirement homes. If you are enthusiastic about any of those things, the Nation’s Oldest City might be a terrific place to retire.
The Florida Keys
Some places are beautiful to see, but you wouldn’t want to live there. The Florida Keys is ideal for a weekend getaway or for becoming a permanent home. A gorgeous tropical environment near the tip of the country, along with a plethora of cultural, entertainment, and recreation opportunities, makes this the ideal location to spend the next stage of life.
Fort Myers
Fort Myers is known for providing the ideal blend of entertainment and relaxation, with white sand beaches, first-class golf courses, exhilarating deep-sea fishing, and superb shopping. It’s no surprise that there are so many 55+ communities there. Baseball lovers will be pleased to learn that both the Boston Red Sox and the Minnesota Twins do their spring training activities in the city.
Palm Coast
Palm Coast, located along the Atlantic Coast approximately midway between St. Augustine and Daytona Beach, provides the ideal blend of nature and golf for anybody who enjoys both at the same time. Whether you prefer wildlife or golf, you’ll be glad to have both right at your fingertips in one of Florida’s best-hidden secrets!
St. Cloud
St. Cloud is a tranquil community located along the southern banks of East Lake Tohopekaliga in Kissimmee and just south of Orlando. It was once recognized as a retirement destination for Civil War soldiers. Aside from its rich history, the region also provides a form of small-town life that is becoming increasingly difficult to find in Florida. St. Cloud is the perfect blend of old and new Florida living, thanks to its small-town ambiance and proximity to all of the fantastic facilities found just to the north in Orlando.
