Though plenty of snowbirds still call it home, Saint Petersburg, FL, isn't your typical retirement destination. Sunshine City still has all the golf courses, beaches, and fishing spots that make it a perfect place to spend your golden years, but it's also got a bustling art scene, plenty of nightlife, and, as part of the Tampa-St. Pete metro area, enough big-city flavor to go along with the usual Florida feel.

That means there's always something to do in St. Pete, across the bay in Tampa, or just up north in Clearwater. Since you love to be out and about—it can be hard to stay home in a city that set the Guinness World Record for most consecutive days of sunshine—you'll want the peace of mind that comes with a home that's protected even when you're not there. And you can get that with ADT monitored home security.

So, feel secure when you head to the Trop to catch a Rays game, or get a little weird at the Dali Museum, featuring the largest collection of the surrealist artist's work outside of Europe. Hit the farmers' market downtown on Saturday morning for fresh fruit or just to take in the vibe. Live life slow or fast. Either way is so St. Pete.
