Dreaming of a coastal retirement? These 6 Southern cities are worth a look

Narrowing down where to live during retirement is no easy feat. Important considerations include affordability, healthcare facilities, population size and - according to indicators AARP uses to inform its livability index - access to the outdoors and nature. And then there’s the toes-in-the-sand factor. For many retirees, living close to the beach at the top of their wish list, and these Southern cities and towns that stand out for having one trait in common: their coastal lifestyle. That includes laid-back beach communities where everyone knows your name, lively waterfront cities where something is always on and everything in between. Orange Beach, Alabama Beachfront communities along the Gulf Coast of Alabama and Florida consistently top best-of lists of cities for retirees, but Orange Beach gets brownie points for having a more palatable price tag than most.You'll find more than 32 miles of pristine beachfront to stretch out on between Orange Beach and neighboring Gulf Shores. Retirees can look forward to small town vibes (minus peak tourist season) with the total number of full-time residents in Orange Beach sitting just under 10,000. And they'll be in good company, with nearly 25 percent of the population aged 65 or older. Calabash, North Carolina
