Coastal Communities for Fishing, Surfing and Boating

Living on the beach in general is a lot of fun, especially when
it is warm outside. If one is able to, it is a pleasant idea to
live in various Coastal
real estate all around the country, particularly in the Sun
Belt areas of California, Florida, Texas, and Hawaii. For
example, Venice Ca. is a community known for its surfing
ambience. Venice has been part of Los Angeles since 1925, but it
still has a separate identity as a community. It has three miles
of beaches and a boardwalk, and there's a lot of outdoor
entertainment. Then there is muscle beach, where often body
builders can be seen lifting weights and developing their
physique. The population of Venice area is about 39,000 and it
is located 3 miles south of Santa Monica, and 17 miles from
downtown Los Angeles. Venice is also only a short 30 miles or so
boat ride to Carolina Island, much of it closed off to
development in a Nature Preserve.
Similar warm conditions, though not quite as exciting for
surfers can be found in the Corpus Christi metropolitan area is
made up of several different communities. Corpus Christi is a
medium size city off the Gulf of Mexico, on Corpus Christi Bay,
about 30 miles north of Mexico. Several exclusive communities on
the coast are especially desirable. North Padre Island has an
18-hole golf course and country club, and Mediterranean style
homes with stucco and ceramic tile roofs. There are homes and
condos on the island feature boat slips just out their back
doors where one can sail through canals to the Gulf of Mexico.
Flour Bluff is a quaint community located between Corpus Christi
and North Padre Island. There is also the charming
Rockport-Fulton. Other attractions are the permanent docking of
the "Ships of Christopher Columbus", which were constructed to
celebrate the 500th anniversary of the discovery of America.
These reproductions were built by Spain and after touring U.S.
ports, the ships arrived in Corpus Christi in 1993. In downtown
Corpus Christi, you can choose from restaurants serving seafood,
authentic Mexican food and Cajun foods. There's something for
everyone. Residents enjoy bike riding by the bay, horseback
riding, swimming, surfing, sailing, windsurfing and more. Best
of all, much of the housing in the Corpus Christi area is very
affordable compared to expensive resort and winter communities
in Florida and California.
Finally, probably the ultimate coastal getaway is to the fishing
and surfing paradise of the island of Kauai in Hawaii. A
mountainous interior of this island, covered with rain forests
makes sure that all the 60,000 inhabitants of this 550 square
mile island live near to the sea. Rainfall ranges from 19 inches
on the dry western shore to 48 inches on the eastern shore near
the town of Kapa'a, to some of the highest rainfall per year on
the peak of Wai'ale'ale. No structure can be built higher than
about four stories tall, so don't expect to see huge condos
here. The boating, the kayaking, the fishing and the surfing are
magnificent.
