Locally it's known as a narrow barrier-island city of high-rise beachfront condos sandwiched between Daytona Beach and Ponce Inlet. For relocators it's a niche pick for relocators wanting direct beach and condo living without Daytona Beach's spring-break reputation. Climate: humid subtropical inland — hottest summers in the state, daily afternoon thunderstorms, mild winters with occasional 30°F nights. Before choosing a home, pay attention to lightning capital of the US, sinkholes in the Brooksville Ridge, both Atlantic and Gulf hurricane reach.
