Do you mind sharing where you live? One day I think I'd like to live on the beach.

Puerto Rico! If you are a US citizen you can just get up and move here. Lots of videos on YouTube to describe what it’s like and what it’s like to move here.

Before anyone gets too excited, keep in mind that the homicide rate for the US is 5 per 100,000, El Salvador (the highest) is 52 per 100,000, and Puerto Rico is 30... closer to El Salvador than to the US which isn't even that low.
