Where to Retire in Florida: The Most Complete Guide to Retirement Areas in the Sunshine State

Florida attracts more retirees than any other state--450,000-plus during the latest census. Many times that number are currently considering such a move.

For nearly a decade, Richard and Betty Fox have traveled the country in search of attractive retirement towns. From Key West to the San Juan Islands of Washington's Olympic Peninsula, and from San Diego to Maine's rugged coast, the Foxes have crisscrossed the country, logging thousands of miles in their quest to discover America's very best places to retire. Along the way, their work has appeared regularly in Where To Retire magazine, and they have become recognized authorities on the subject of retirement places.

While researching this book, Richard and Betty personally inspected more than 125 Florida cities and towns, conducting hundreds of interviews with relocated retirees and knowledgeable local officials. Natives of North Carolina, the Foxes still call the Tarheel State home, but their work keeps them on the move.
