    Nice! I currently live about a 20 minute drive from Miami Beach and that’s fine enough for me. I have an inground pool and sun deck area at my apartment building, so that’s good enough for me! I don’t need to drag shit long distances and it takes me a few minutes to get to, plus no cleanup (unless you count washing off sweat lol)!

    I just googled real quick to see how hot South Florida Beach sand can get and there was an article from this past August (around the time I was down there) that said the beach sand hit 137F!

      Wow. 137F? That’s crazy… my wife is Indonesian so we’re moving to Bali, but north on the island where the beaches aren’t great but there’s the sea air to keep you cool. Building a small villa with a pool as well (3m x 8m) for swimming but I still love the beachy vibe of the restaurants and shops along the coast area. Island life - got to love it!

        Yeah, insane right? Shocked me too! I guessed it was probably around 125F+ because it was unbearable. We always have a steady 10-30 mph breeze which is nice and it rains a lot, almost every day, but only for a short period of time though so it tends to cool it off a bit.

        What you’re describing definitely sounds great to me! Enjoy it!
