Finally leaving your job is a thing you are surely looking forward to celebrating, especially if you plan to change your life completely, even if it means moving to one of these 10 best places to retire in Florida on the water.

Florida is a great state to move to, it has a great climate, with hot days and nights, plenty of fresh air, loads of nature to enjoy, and most of all lots and lots of water. On top of the fact that a great part of the state has a coastline, there are also dozens of lakes and rivers to fall in love with, which means it’s perfect if you want to move to a less traditional home, like a boat, for instance; or perhaps you’d enjoy a house with a lake in your backyard, since that’s also an option.
