I think you would enjoy Hampstead. (I have been in Orange County, and understand it's appeal, as well as the congestion and cost.) Wilmingon and Hampstead are much smaller, more low-key, and maybe less materialistic.
I have met a few of the volunteers at the LDS Family History Center in Wilmington. They are good, dedicated people, and I believe you would be welcomed.
The only negative will be that the surfing is not as good as on the California beaches. You really have to go to the Outer Banks for comparable surf.
