Giant Redwood state parks, the EEL River out your front door, the CA coastline, Oregon coast 100 miles away, and vintage National historic towns to stroll through.A very relaxing way to go.

Lots of state parks, and I love the coastline between Half Moon Bay and Carmel.

I'll never understand how we don't drill here, but rather help fund Brazil to drill off there shores.colo oil shaleMontana/dakota fieldsAlaskaOff shore ( within reach of coastline) in ca,tx,fl, etc.

But for me, I like a coast line that is far less prone to Hurricanes ;-) P NW - You got it.

I never realized how much I appreciated consistent sunshine and access to a coastline until I went to school elsewhere haha.I haven't spent significant time as far south as you're potentially looking, but I have a lot of friends who enjoyed growing up down there as well.

I think they have better potential of appreciations: as the coastline is 1D and inland is 2D.

Here in southern California with its miles and miles of coastline, amusement parks, recreation, sporting events, cultural offerings, etc. and year round perfect weather, there's a big demand for vacation rentals.

One of my rehab projects is on Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu, which has one of the most beautiful coast lines in the Country!

My name is Jim and I'm from a little town called East Lyme CT (about half way between Boston and New York) on the CT coastline.
