Ever wonder what the rest of the country thinks about the area? With the number of visitors and new residents increasing every year, it seems like everyone must know about our very cool, very unique bit of paradise.

Read this article to see that we've only just started to get the word out to much of the country!

Thanks Dean, that was funny! I heard about the area from family who vacationed down here. Before that I just thought of south Florida whenever anyone mentioned the state. So I can see how some people just don't know that the beaches down here are so beautiful and that there is everything you need for a great vacation. And of course it is the greatest place to retire too! :D

Well, I'm off to go walk the "squeaky" sand and stare into the emerald waters... ah, retirement!
