I do not consider the vineyard to be cape code. And yes diverse in a lovely way.

Diverse in what way?

This is the opposite of the definition of a diverse coastal town. Well, it is coastal.

Definitely not diverse with about 95% white.

There are a few cute parts of Norfolk, but it’s no Santa Barbara.

Norfolk and Virginia Beach are night and day.
Norfolk can be outright dangerous especially at night.

VB has its hefty share of violence as well.

PP here and I live in Norfolk, so I’m quite familiar. There are some cute parts that are not dangerous, but probably not quite what OP’s looking for.

Santa Barbara has a fairly high Latino/Hispanic population, like 40%. There’s basically no black people and a minuscule number of Asians.

So if that’s you’re definition of “diverse,” then look at other California cities on the beach: San Diego, Encinitas, Carlsbad, Long Beach, Dana Point, Torrance, Santa Monica, Oxnard, Ventura, Pismo, Aptos, Santa Cruz, etc.

I understand why POC might feel uncomfortable being the "only" ones of her identity group, but in a country where 75% of the people are white, that's bound to be the case in many coastal areas (& other areas). If you want your family to be among others with similar skin color (sounds racist when translated that way, but that seems like what is meant here), you can probably figure out where to go. Here is an article pointing to historic black beaches on the Atlantic Coast: https://medium.com/@AngelaDennisWrites/six-historically-black-beaches-to-visit-this-summer-46045aa3e348

Huh? That’s not “racist” at all.
