it is indeed what you want. I moved to Florida 28 years ago and wanted to be by the beach. My current house is literally 3 minutes from the beach. The whole area has beaches along it, Madeira Beach, Redington, Indian Rocks--I have my pick. Dunedin is a cute city with neat shops downtown. However, I rarely go to the beach. It's just not as much of an attraction as it was. A big drawback to living here is the cost of homeowner's insurance. Most of us have to have the state insurer and it's a constant headache. I will save over $1100 a year in property insurance when I get my house here sold. Sun City is more inland and insurance is more affordable there as well.
btw that historic sailing ship sank trying to get away from hurricane sandy.
