Right in the coast is a double edged sword; less nuisance cloud bubbling up in summer but less frost and snow in winter. Nowhere in Britain is totally free from coastal moderation though, we still get cloud from the North Sea in the west Midlands on an easterly.
I love it in the winter, but hate it in the summer.
Ideally I would like coastal moderation but with a warm sea such as the Mediterranean. Thus summers would be hot and winters mild/warm.
No coastal moderation would be very bad unless I lived below 30N which would mean winters would still be mild/warm.. but on the other hand that would mean scorching hot summers.
I hate coastal moderation. The only thing it does good is it can get precipitation into the ideal 50-75 inch range per year. But I prefer convective type rain (thunderstorms) anyway. I want the temperature swings of Kansas.
Too cool in every season except winter. I'd rather have 9 months of warmth and 3 months of continental temp swings than 12 months of moderation. The only place I would choose moderation is Bermuda or other such low latitude locations surrounded by warm water.
That's not true, adjacent to the coast is warmer year-around due to milder nights, days are less affected.
That was my point...
The coast remains steady and stable all year round, generally speaking. The more inland you go the more continental it gets (hotter summers, colder winters).
The coast can have mild temps in the summer yet further inland it's much hotter. In the winter the nights can be milder in the coast but inland they can be near freezing. At least that's what we experience in Sydney (even LA has this thing going).

The east coast of the US gets minimal moderation due to the predominant wind direction, especially in winter. So I don't really consider our coasts around here to be anything other than very slightly modified continental. Western Europe even Germany is more modified than we are due to predominant wind direction and no north south mountains to block Atlantic air.
