If you could live abroad in a beach apartment where would you choose and Why?

I would live in Spain to try and help all the galgos and podencos who are so horribly abused over there .

Croatia. I felt completely at home there and just loved everything.

No abroad for me. A huge sea front apartment with massive balcony overlooking the Dorset coast - perfect.

I fancy Sandbanks, but slightly out of my reach financially!

Likewise, somewhere in the UK , a stretch of coastline with a rocky beach at low tide for exploring and foraging. I’d take some training and get a fishing kayak and if money were no object take The RYA Power Boat Course and go for one of these…

Dream on!!

The problem with somewhere like Sandbanks is someone is always demolishing a house and rebuilding on the land! They’re all at it. But yes, I’ve been through there many times, catching the ferry over to Swanage and beyond, and it is a beautiful part of the country.

I don’t know where I’d rather be. Not thought about it.

Me and Mrs Fox would go and live in Guernsey at the drop of a hat if they’d have us. Apparently you need quite a lot of brass and they are very fussy who they let in.
The weather can be rubbish though, and the traffic in summertime is outrageous. I never drove while I was there and walked everywhere. The Island is only five miles across and about ten miles long. Well within walking and jogging distance for me. The bus service is brilliant, and it’s like stepping back in time, totally stressless for Mrs Fox and me. A nice clifftop cabin would do us fine, close to the cliff path which goes right around the island.
We used to go every year until covid, and now we’ve let our passports run out.

Guernsey is a wonderful place Foxy, green, lush and very largely unspoiled. As you say you’d need a pretty healthy bank account to move there, the islanders won’t be having the pleasure of my company :wink:

I don’t know what the criteria are for obtaining residency, I’ll have to have a Google later and enlighten myself :+1:

We visited the Leaning Tower, Florence and Rome during a cruise, I liked what I saw but Mum and Dad loved Sorrento but we didn’t go there, and I would love to visit and spend more time in Italy than you get during a cruise.

Foxy’s world tour…
I need to have a word with the advertising agency, nobody’s turned up…

I too loved Sorrento. Mum and I stayed there for a holiday once, as well as doing day trips from tours.

I have been a few beach places. Possibly one is the Taiwan on the South Coast. Also on the beach of the very coast of Spain - beyond of Gibraltar (Tarifa.)

Hawai’i and Seward Alaska (though still the U.S) are mind-blowing beautiful, but I’m mostly content with my little getaway place where the dogs can run and the travel time is 30 minutes in the minivan.
