Traffic sucks! Unless you have beach access, it's hard to actually go to the beach and park. The Cape is kinda gross for swimming and the beach is rough.

The Delaware beaches are just so gross and also full of ratchet people from Maryland. Gross.

"Ratchet people"? Was that a typo? Wretched? Or a new term that I've never heard of?

Agree. Would add Ponte Vedra to that list. Mayo Clinic, great airport.

I am thinking of the space coast of Florida. My plan is to move down there when my kid finishes college. I will continue to work for a few years (one of my customers is there).

Cape Charles

I believe that's a troll, pp. Not worth engaging.

I'd consider retiring in RI, which has lots of towns that happen to be near the beach. You're near the airport and hospital. And it's affordable.

I like Bethany and Lewes. I don't understand the hate.

It's a term that ratchet people use to pretend they are better than that.

Me, either. Bethany doesn't have bars, really, so it keeps the most obnoxious behavior away. You can go to Rehoboth, Dewey, or OC for that. Otherwise, it's very family oriented. Quaint little shops, nice people, easygoing lifestyle. Perhaps Lewes is similar?

When you are old you might like having peers to hang out with.

ratchet people means people that misbehave. ratchet is a kind of rap music.

We were looking tonight for homes in Mobile Alabama. No need to dis my post. It's a place we'd like.

I'm sorry, but retiring in a Maryland beach town full of retired mechanics from Glen Burnie and secretaries from Waldorf is not my idea of a good time. The weather isn't good, the beach isn't nice, and in the summer you get even more riff-raff from Ocean City.

Delaware beaches are best. High prices but low taxes and close enough to come back to DC often.

Sounds pretty awesome. Is it overrun by illegals?

I'd love to retire in southern CA - between LA and San Diego.
