There are certain rules to living in Florida – not traditional laws or regulations, but just things that you do to make life easier in the Sunshine State. It might be off-kilter anywhere else, but here, we do some things differently. Whether you’re shopping in Miami or enjoying all that Harbour Ridge on the Treasure Coast offers, you’ll see Floridians following these rules.

Flip-Flops are basically the official state footwear

In Florida, it’s almost always the perfect weather to wear flip-flops. As a result, you’ll find that most people wear them every day. Why dress up in loafers and sneakers when you can feel the sun on your toes? Whether you’re running errands, grabbing a bite to eat, or heading to the beach, flip-flops are more than appropriate footwear when you live in the Sunshine State.

Sunscreen isn’t just for the beach

Here in Florida, sunscreen and sunglasses are essential. Florida is known for having on average over 200 sunny days a year. For most people here, their morning routine includes a quick layer of sunscreen and grabbing their sunglasses when heading out the door.

Learning to swim is just as important as learning to walk

Floridians are all about the water. Whether they swim, fish, paddleboard, or stroll by the beach, their lives revolve around the water. People here spend lots of time outdoors – it’s a way of life.

Nothing makes a picnic like a Publix sub sandwich

This grocery store with the silly name is thought of fondly by all Floridians. You’ll hear residents rave about their “Pub Subs,” made to perfection in Publix’s deli. Grab a bag of chips and some juice, and you have the perfect picnic platter! Once you have one, you’re sure to crave another.

Harbour Ridge is Florida’s premier private waterfront golf community. Its waterfront location on the St. Lucie River makes it the perfect place to live, and it’s treasured by members and residents alike.
