Lets say you wanted to live by the ocean. To enjoy long walks on the beach, quick swim dips in the ocean, or even take a boat out on the water ... what city would you live in to do this?
Any city on the ocean between santa maria and san simeon on central coast california. Bar none the best weather. Problem is high cost of living and high taxes. so make your investments in gold and silver bullion, have them go up, and sell them for cash.

Monterey, California
Ft. Lauderdale, Florida
Santa Barbara, California
Port Charlotte, Florida
Cape coral, Florida
Anywhere in Hawaii

problem solved.
Which "city", the town of Arroyo Grande (pop. 17,000), or the village of Morro Bay (pop. 10,000)? While I concur it is amongst the most beautiful coastal areas in the world (Morro Bay is charming!), it also is surprisingly desolate (wonderful for over populated CA) and a more than a little chilly for water activities. I would not consider any area there urban enough to constitute a city.
I'm thinking my home port of San Diego fits the bill pretty well, it is right on the coast, over 70 miles of beaches in the city limits, great sunsets. I can be in the water in about 10 minutes from my house right next to downtown, there is great sailing, deep sea fishing, swimming and surfing if you can handle the refreshing to chilly water, (I love 68-72 surf), amazing weather and a vibrant and remarkably safe, big city for urban fun.
Florida has great water activities and nice warm water but I just can't do Florida other than a quick visit.

I think any city on highway 1. I really like Florida just stay away from North Florida.

NOLA shouldn't be on this list if this is what you're wanting to do.
LA (technically) does not really have much of an Ocean Front.
That being said I love living where I do, in Huntington Beach. I try to get an ocean front Bike ride in everyday. That water itself is a bit chilly most of the year, but everyone has swimming pools. Plus the harbors and inletso keep the water warm.
I live less than a mile form the Ocean, 1/4 mile to the Harbor. I can sail, row or kayak whenever I want.
Now If I could live anywhere in the USA: somewhere in Kauai
Here in the U.S. I would love to own oceanfront property in Santa Monica, Santa Barbara, Redondo Beach, San Diego (Most particularly La Jolla), Wildwood or Ocean City in New Jersey, Virginia Beach, Seattle, Cape Coral in Florida (Even though I only prefer to visit Florida rather than live in it), or Charleston, SC (Outside of Charleston and family ties, I don't really care much for South Carolina). And even though I wouldn't consider the NYC to be an oceanfront city despite the Atlantic being really close nearby, I'd love to live in either Brooklyn Heights, DUMBO, or across the Hudson into Jersey City with a waterfront view.
Overseas, I would love to own oceanfront property in either Brighton or Hove in the UK, Barcelona, Cape Town, Buenos Aires, or Sydney.

Reason: NYC related stuff
I live a block and a half from the ocean now. If I moved it would be either Charleston SC or Palm Beach FL
