Great lifestyle! Residential beach community with one of the lowest chances of receiving a direct hurricane hit along the Florida coastline. You will find fabulous gourmet restaurants, boutiques and social venues, all delivered in a casual atmosphere.
One of the most affordable places for beaches living now, with plenty of condos, bungalows, and oceanfront mansions as choices!

Didn't take them to jail... gave them a ticket! I have hundreds of more stories for you but this gives you an example of how bad the police department is. OH YEAH... let's not forget the media coverage over
