If you’re looking for a lively coastal retirement with warm winters, then southeast Florida is certainly an option to consider. Most of southeast Florida is quite urban, with just a few communities here and there that offer a more laid-back lifestyle.  This part of Florida enjoys the most diverse population and therefore offers its residents a host of unique multi-cultural experiences. When travelling through these three Florida counties it is is sometimes difficult to distinguish when one city ends and the next begins, but despite initial appearances, many of southeast Florida’s cities and towns have their own unique qualities.

If your looking for a trendy, exclusive, multi-cultural vibe, Miami Beach should be high on your list. For an exclusive, beach life-style that is a little more conservative, Palm Beach is a good bet. Lauderdale-by-the-Sea is a great choice for those that want a more laid-back, moderately-priced coastal lifestyle.
