20 Best Places to Live 2017

Belize, the Bahamas and Playa del Carmen, Mexico have been named some of the best places to live along the coast.

Coastal Living magazine, a brand owned by Time Inc., published its “20 Best Places to Live 2017″ list, which considers everything from the coastal lifestyle to urban and community design, expat life, ease of transition, real estate ownership, location and quality of destination.

It’s a list tailor-made for retirees looking for property along water-front, sun-soaked coastlines in North America and the Caribbean, or ocean lovers and water babies looking to live near its wildness.

Destinations are divided into different categories. For those in search of a smaller coastal town, the list includes Fernandina Beach and Sarasota in Florida. There’s also Grand Haven in Michigan, Langley in Washington and Orleans in Massachusetts. All of them are in the United States.

More dynamic destinations in the “cities” category for the United States, include Boston, San Diego, Santa Barbara and St Petersburg, Florida.

For those looking for something more exotic and tropical, experts singled out Ambergris Caye in Belize, Harbour Islands in the Bahamas and Playa del Carmen, in Mexico.
