We were smack on the beach and Gulf of Mexico with an inland waterway on our other side which led out to the Venice jetties.......we were on the Esplanade. No problem at all. Later, the lady from Hawaii who bought our condo from us (totally remodeled by us) had no trouble either....as far as getting insurance.
As of late, we know people who have bought in Florida and also had no problems getting full coverage..........

I would check before I bought anywhere near a beach. I can get hurricane insurance 3 minutes from the beach but even with all the discounts it's costs me $1700 for a 1451 sq. ft. house. People right on the water pay a lot. Now a condo may be different. I can only get Citizen's insurance and they are raising the rates again next year. One of the things I look forward to by moving to TV this week is how much less I'll be paying for insurance.
