Seabrook, Washington
Seabrook is an oceanfront master-planned coastal town in the middle of Washington’s Pacific Coast. The New England-style houses and cottages that sit above Moclips Beach make for a stunning setting.
Its Market Street is a must-see with a lot of local boutiques, wine shops, an ice cream parlor, and restaurants for a slice of Americana.
Then, you can spend time unwinding by the firepit at Horseshoe Park. The entire area is designed so that everything is just a short walk or bike ride away.
You can rent one of the more than 200 residences and also bring along your pup because Seabrook is as pet-friendly as they come!

I grew up in Old Greenwich, CT with Tod’s Pt., now called Greenwich Pt. It’s about 64 acres of beautiful beaches, hiking trails, picnic areas & a lovely view of the New York City skyline. No place could be better.
Went there in the 1980’s. Too expensive!
Where is Charleston, SC on the list ?
Visited 17 years in a row…July 4th week is great!….found a great inn 4 miles south of town…great seafood, shops. As a veteran loved the July 4th parade. Go back every year.
I love Cape May and their lovely “Painted Ladies”. The Victorian homes are beautiful; so glad to see them preserved. The beach is wide and not as crowded as other NJ beaches. My favorite beach town. Enjoyed the most in off-season without crowds.
There are a lot more coastal places on the east coast that are so beautiful, and not mentioned. Kennebunkport, Maine. Hampton Beach, NH. Boston.
I absolutely agree with Sanibel and Carmel! I love both of these locations and I hope to visit each of them again.
This is not the list I would have created. You entirely miss all the charming MA costal towns with the exception of Edgartown. Not one town in CT and only 2 towns in ME. Looks to me like the author has spent very little time in New England.
Coastal towns are the most beautiful, and the most desired places to live—-BUT, in a few decades these coastal areas will be taken back into the seas, even the cliff places.
