Breeze has only been in Portland since May, with year-round nonstop service to parts of Florida, South Carolina, New York, Virginia, and Pennsylvania. Breeze President Tom Doxey said in a press release,

We have seen incredible demand for all our new Portland routes. This new route to Orlando, our second affordable and convenient Florida route from PWM, will offer our Guests in Maine a warm, family-friendly winter vacation destination.

Tom knows that his audience and Mainers have a special relationship with Florida. They don't call Mainers snowbirds for nothing!

LOOK: See America's 50 Best Beach Towns

Every beach town has its share of pluses and minuses, which got us thinking about what makes a beach town the best one to live in. To find out, Stacker consulted data from WalletHub, released June 17, 2020, that compares U.S. beach towns. Ratings are based on six categories: affordability, weather, safety, economy, education and health, and quality of life. The cities ranged in population from 10,000 to 150,000, but they had to have at least one local beach listed on TripAdvisor. Read the full methodology here. From those rankings, we selected the top 50. Readers who live in California and Florida will be unsurprised to learn that many of towns featured here are in one of those two states.
