Most people can probably see the attraction of living life by the sea – the fresh ocean breezes, endless beach days, and tasty seafood are quite appealing. And, it turns out that living by the water actually does make you happier, especially if you’re in the happiest and healthiest beach town in America: Naples-Immokalee-Marco Island.
Wikimedia Commons/Massimo Catarinella Gallup-Sharecare surveyed more than 337,000 people across America and found that out of the top 25 happiest and healthiest cities in the country, 10 of them are located on coastlines. Unsurprisingly, the beautiful Gulf Coast community of Naples-Immokalee-Marco Island in Collier County, Florida came out on top.
