2. Playa del Carmen, Mexico
Located along the Caribbean Sea in the municipality of Solidaridad, in the state of Quintana Roo, Mexico, Playa del Carmen is not only a popular and affordable vacation spot. It has the best of both worlds by being modern yet quaint. There are many beach clubs to relax at, or you can just go to the beach, put down your towel, and enjoy the enticing turquoise waters.
You can bask in temperatures in the 80s and 90s year-round as you walk to the town’s public square or feast on the many culinary delights the eateries on La Quinta Avenida have to offer. If you’re looking for a bit more excitement, you can go snorkeling in the Caribbean or head out to explore the enigmatic Mayan ruins in Tulum.

4 thoughts on “The Best Destinations for Retirement”
I am 65 and retired from a major California police department, with a pension and medical. Retired 14 years. I am also a practicing attorney and am considering complete retirement between now and age 70. I purchased a home in Puebla, Mexico and it is lovely and inexpensive. My pension from the police and my social security at 70 and savings along with a home in Mexico that is paid for virtually guarantees that I will leave for Mexico full time soon, I am there in the Summer at this point. Mexico is very inexpensive unless you are in a tourist beach town, including the Baja coast at Tijuana, Rosarito, Ensenada, and Cabo. Going inland slightly really saves much money and I am certain that my golden years will be great in Puebla. Mexico takes a hit on crime but I invite anyone to spend a weekend in Chicago or my original hometown Detroit and compare the violence. I am an ardent conservative and lover of the USA. I served in the USMC and 31 years in the violence rocked major city in California, and I still think for those who no longer need to work Mexico offers much. I also intend to spend a few months every year in Capena, Italy.
Why Capena, Italy? We are looking into Bari, Italy.
For seniors, weather, healthcare, and taxes top the list. Scotland’s weather is cold and chilly and damp for much of the year, and very dark for half of it. It’s almost impossible to get permanent residence in the U.K. Healthcare, near and dear to seniors, isn’t mentioned but given the size of the town, not promising.
That was very educational as I’m making my last 3-5 years until my retirement years 🤔 I pretty much enjoy the information above and would like to learn more. All seems very exciting and inviting which will make it hard to pick the right place. As they say reaching retirement years are the last road on earth, so make it count or worth while, avoid slowing down and experience it all before checking out and those are my plans. Thank you.
