7 Downsides of Living in A Beach Town for $1,200 per Month

The weather can be extremely hot and humid.

If you want to know the downsides of living in a beach town, then you must take the weather into account. For instance, if you’ve been planning on moving to Mexico, you need to know that you will find two types of seasons there: either dry, which will last from mid-October to April, or rainy, which usually lasts from May to mid-October.

The various climate zones might tell you more about how those seasons could ultimately look in various parts of the country. Generally, the rainy season here signifies torrential storms and, in specific coastal areas like Yucatan, the Caribbean, or even Puerto Vallarta, hurricanes.

They can be highly destructive, scary, and way more severe than those that we’ve seen in the United States. In other coastal towns, it could get wildly hot and humid.

If you love insects, you will have a blast there. If not, be careful. Bugs and critters have seized the land, so to speak, so any type of food in your kitchen, sometimes including packaged foods, needs to go in the refrigerator as soon as possible. Also, your clothes might suffer a little bit.

For instance, cotton and spandex blends will lose their elasticity, their colors will fade, the elastic on underwear will start to droop, and leather and vinyl will ultimately get moldy.

Have you ever seen electronics get rusty? No? Don’t worry; you will! In the inland, the weather is much cooler, but in the summer, there is more rain.

Cobblestone streets in the magical colonial towns could only turn into rivers in a couple of minutes, and what can I say? It is simply a “delight”!
