Best place to FI/RE in the South Advice Request

I’m originally from VA, but had to move to Los Angeles when I was growing up. I want to go back out to the south, where would be some of the best places for a 25 year old to go, my salary is about 200k a year and I have no student debt. I am in a position to move without any consequences, lmk what you think!

We liked the few days we spent in Tampa/Clearwater/St Petersburgh beach areas. Miami Beach was kind of like a Hollywood dream, Nice condo on the beach, meals in local nice restos, etc. there's no way we could afford that lifestyle on our FIRE budget!
