Hi!
Im interested in finding a place to live simple, close to nature, but also being relative close to some city for some activities.
Requirements, but not set in stone.
* Next to a warm ocean with tropical climate
* Be able to grow food most of the year
* Nice, active, outgoing people
* At least semi - cheap to buy land and live there
Ideas
Hawaii, Costa Rica, Brazil, Australia. Countries or specific places would be much appreciated.

There is a lot of Australia that would fit those criteria, but I would avoid coastal Northern Territory or northern coastal Queensland due to the prevalence of cyclones and the severe 'wet' season. For townsfolk their impact is mitigated to a large extent, but if you're living off grid and away from a major town or city, they could be major issues for you to have to deal with.

Thailand and Sri Lanka would be at the top of my list. If I had the resources to do so, I would gladly move to either one.
Ecuador, Panama, Nicaragua, and the Philippines also meet all of your criteria.
If even somewhat semi-cheap is important to you, I would remove Hawaii and Australia from your list.

Thanks for those insights! Do you have some places you would suggest? I know bargara and bundenburg are good for growing but not much happening around there. Im thinking of a place, maybe 30 min away from something similar to the gold cost or sunshine coast where people are active.

I´ve been to most of those countries, they are nice, but I prefer more active and sporty cultures for the long term.

You gave me the impression that were looking for a small place. Aracaju isn't too small, but it's not as big as Salvador or Rio.
But if you're in Rio and are looking for a rural site, there are a lot of places that you can have a land around it. Cachoeiras de Macacu is is very pleasant place, for exemple.
