Re West Coast beaches: Beaches in the pacific northwest are rocky and windy, often wet and cold. There's stuff to do like whale-watching, digging for clams, checking out tidepools, stuff like that...swimming is often dangerous (rip tides), and it's usually too cold and windy for tanning or water sports other than surfing/sailboarding. If you want beaches for fun-in-the-sun on the west coast of US, you're stuck with commiefornia.
You should check out some maps, and get the names of towns or cities you are interested in, then look up the demographic information on it. Wiki usually has the latest couple of census reports.
Also you may want to use Sperling's Cost of Living tool. You can compare the cost of living to another place to determine how much you need to get paid to live there. It has valuable information that would (for instance) give a person pause before moving from the backwoods of West Virginia to downtown San Francisco.
