Greetings , Aly.. we moved to Tennessee to retire. 2 yrs ago and we just love it here !.. We lived in Maine on the Coast. It's very , very beautiful , but it would of been waaay too expensive for us to retire there,, And besides , we are glad we don't have to shovel any more snow and be hunkered down with freezing temps all winter long!!
But we are happy as clams living here in the western end of Tenn.. and speaking of clams, they don't have much here for good seafood but its a sacrifice worth its weight in gold for us.. And we just love the Southern hospitality here too,, Good luck in finding your coastal home Aly, there must be somewhere near the oceans and the Gulf coast where you can enjoy your retirement.. Welcome ,to the Senior forums...

Hi, thank you for the interesting response! I live around Nashville and it has gotten just crazy here with the business and housing boom(horrible traffic, taxes/crime increasing, etcetera), and I long for the ocean and sea air, always have...and yes I despair for decent seafood!! But parts of Tennessee are wonderful and beautiful with goodhearted people, it will always be home to me. Winters have gotten incredibly mild since the 90's, we used to get weeks of snow in East and Middle Tennessee... Nice to read a good retirement move story!:)

Thank you! I lived near Knoxville for awhile, lucky you moving to Scotland, lol... I am actually trying to figure out places on coastal NC as a possibility to retire, so if you have any opinions I'd love to read them. ;)

I only really researched Wilmington because at the time I worked at a state university and wanted to work at the state university in Wilmington. Was thinking pensions because at the time I was mid 40s. Also wanted to be near ocean. I liked Wilmington and thought it would nice for retirement as well.
