That's OK for the warm weather months. But for the winter you'll also
want this...

always worry about hurricanes on the east coast and the strange
weather on the west coast. In fact, my husband and I stayed at a beach
house in the Outer Banks for a couple of weeks here in North Carolina
last year, and I was scared to death the day it rained. It wasn't even
hurricane weather but the wind was vicious.

I'd be more worried about floods than hurricanes, but I guess this
depends on which ocean you have in mind. I could retire happily by
the English Channel in Eastbourne, Sussex, where my parents met and
married and where Claude Debussy composed _La Mer_. He was staying at
The Grand Hotel there.

If it were practical I'd love to have a home on a lake or large
river. The 87 express bus here to downtown goes along the Ottawa
River Parkway and, even in deep-freeze winter, has a romantic,
apocalyptic quality I'd love to look out on all the time.

IIRC, it is also the town with the highest average age in England -
you're a youngster there if you are under 50... :)

Indeed --- *everyone* retires there!

My aunt, now 89, is there, and it was mainly an elderly crowd even
when I visited as a child 50 years ago,

Very different from "Swinging Brighton" to the west......
