There is no town of Florida that I know of but I mentioned the state of FL b/c the OP asked for which "states" as well and not just towns. Some better reading comprehension would have helped you here:

The immediate Florida coast is not significantly cheaper. Once you go even 5 miles inland, though, that changes.
Depends on what part of the state you are looking at, South Florida is probably close to the same. But looking at real estate websites you can get a house on the sand or within a few blocks of it for much cheaper than CA or HI in the less popular parts. Florida has a lot more real estate that is by the beach than either CA and HI and the Gulf Coast is relatively cheap.
It's true, town or state is helpful! I'm landlocked in Iowa now, so even a coastal state where the beach could be a day trip is a significant improvement! I don't need to live on the beach and it doesn't have to be a beach that is sunny year round...I can tough out a winter if need be as long as the summer is rewarding
