The state has also been a long-time favorite for people looking to retire. This preference is mostly born out of a few factors. First of all, it’s called a Sunshine State for a reason, and who wouldn’t want to spend their years of freedom in the best weather possible, throwing in some great beaches, plenty of attractions, and plenty of quiet spots.

Another major reason is due to the fact that Florida is very tax-friendly when it comes to retirees, making the life of the elderly just that bit much easier, and of course, no state income tax. This gives the elderly the freedom to live their lives without Social Security benefits, pensions being taxed by the state. Making it a very preferable location for people to move later in life.
While the two aforementioned aspects are not only quite obvious but well known and loved, there are some aspects of Florida that you might not know unless you start looking into what makes the state what it is. One of such is the excellent Citrus.

Also, while many people know that Florida holds the nickname of the Sunshine State, not many know just how different the sun seems to feel there.
Many people have expressed that it almost feels like the sun seems hotter in the region as if it goes right over your head like in no other place in the US. Combined with the humidity, the place quickly turns into a prime vacation destination.
Oranges, Sun, amusement parks, and most importantly, the beaches. That’s one of the last most famous aspects of Florida that is hard, not to mention. As the state is virtually completely surrounded by water, there are quite a few beaches to choose from.
Destin, Sanibel Island, Naples, and many more, are absolutely stunning beaches that many people have fallen in love with. For example, the award-winning St. Pete Beach is known to see around 361 days of sunlight per year, making for an ideal destination for sunlight seekers.

While it would take quite a bit of time to name every notable beach around Florida, what stays consistent throughout the state is the weather.
