Little things make coastal living easier. A starter list from the community — add yours:
- Drinking water: tap water quality varies by area; many residents use filters or bottled water.
- Power & internet: occasional outages happen, especially in green season storms — a surge protector and a backup plan help.
- Heat: plan errands for the morning; the midday sun is strong.
- Trash & recycling: schedules vary by community — ask your neighbors or HOA.
