I don’t know what it is about water but is super relaxing to me. However, I have some rules. I don’t get into ANY body of water unless I can see the bottom. So, this means crystal clear water. [I feel you rolling your eyes at me]

This comes from a close encounter, not once but twice in the ocean. Once, something started nibbling at my leg, it wasn’t a bite but I wasn’t about to let it go that far. I believe I walked on water that day.

Second, while visiting a West Coast Florida beach, my cousin and I had just come in from the ocean, and not even 2 feet from us, there was a commotion in the water, a SHARK. It was a baby shark but that means MAMA shark isn’t that far away.

So, that leaves me with pools. That’s my safest option and I can see the bottom.  Did you know that you can rent pools right here in Alabama? I just found out about this. So, if you are a water lover like me and don’t have access to a pool. You can rent from Swimply.

LOOK: Here are the 50 best beach towns in America

Every beach town has its share of pluses and minuses, which got us thinking about what makes a beach town the best one to live in. To find out, Stacker consulted data from WalletHub, released June 17, 2020, that compares U.S. beach towns. Ratings are based on six categories: affordability, weather, safety, economy, education and health, and quality of life. The cities ranged in population from 10,000 to 150,000, but they had to have at least one local beach listed on TripAdvisor. Read the full methodology here. From those rankings, we selected the top 50. Readers who live in California and Florida will be unsurprised to learn that many of towns featured here are in one of those two states.

Keep reading to see if your favorite beach town made the cut.

 

LOOK: Here are the best lake towns to live in

Many of the included towns jump out at the casual observer as popular summer-rental spots--the Ozarks' Branson, Missouri, or Arizona's Lake Havasu--it might surprise you to dive deeper into some quality-of-life offerings beyond the beach and vacation homes. You'll likely pick up some knowledge from a wide range of Americana: one of the last remaining 1950s-style drive-ins in the Midwest; a Florida town that started as a Civil War veteran retirement area; an island boasting some of the country's top public schools and wealth-earners right in the middle of a lake between Seattle and Bellevue; and even a California town containing much more than Johnny Cash's prison blues.
