Did you know that living near the ocean has a number of health benefits, especially for those entering the 55+ age phase in life? The sound of the waves itself is known to relax the mind and take away the stresses of life. This form of relaxation is better than the relaxation you will get at a spa!  The sea air enables you to sleep better and time at the coast gives you the opportunity to obtain a tan which is beneficial for getting vitamin D.  Sea air is also thought to be beneficial for many who suffer from allergies. The sea breeze is supposed to do wonders for asthma too. Sea baths are also beneficial for many skin issues that no ointment or cream is able to.

Now that you have time for yourself and need to relax and enjoy life to the fullest, it is time to vacate the hectic residential districts and city centers that you may have lived in so that you could be closer to work and schools while raising the family. The joy of 55+ age is that you have retired, done your deals, achieved your goals, given your daughters in marriage, seen your sons become proud fathers, and now have all the time in the world on your hands! So, why not consider an Active Adult Community near the coast?
