AMI Auctions of St. Joe, which has been in business for 20 years, has done live auctions in the past, but since the pandemic, the company hasn't participated in live, in-person auctions. AMI Auctions isn't your typical auction house either. They don't do farm or estate auctions, AMI specializes in more of the niche type auctions.

For example, one past auction featured 100s of wedding dresses! That had to be a different experience for both the AMI Auction team and those in attendance.

LOOK: Here are the 50 best beach towns in America

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.

Keep reading to see if your favorite beach town made the cut.
