Can you elaborate? No clue what this is referring to.

I love BHI. I'm surprised more people in DC aren't familiar.

Digressing a bit--I was checking out beach properties in Nantucket. On the south-west side, one house listed for $3.5 milion. It was bought in 2022 for $2.2 million or so, and current owners now want to sell. The house in front of it was swallowed by the ocean (I googled beach erosion in Nantucket and cape cod). It is now ocean front! It's a matter of time before this house is also claimed by the sea. I don't know who in their right mind would pay over $3 million for a house that will be gone. It is also suspect that the owners are selling after only one year.

Quite unlike NJ shore. The beaches like Flying Point Beach in Southampton is resident only parking and it is just the beach, lifeguard, bathroom, food truck sometimes. All the night life, restaurants, clubs etc are in town.

Easy to get from. I usually drive off peak, but sometimes Acela to Cannonball train or Jitney out of Penn.

My rich friend used to fly out of BWI to McCarther airport on Long Island. Very very short flight. Avoids all the traffic.

A house 2-5 miles from the ocean is not a beach house.

You don’t understand it. No one wants to live by beach in Hamptons it sucks. I rented out there 13 summers. One summer we were by the beach. It was wicked cold at night, no stores, just a handful happy hour places, zero night life. I had to drive 15-30 minutes each way for cup of coffee, dinner, go to good bar, go to movie or anything. Plus driving to get people at train. And no street parking in dune road.

Best part I lived in Southhampton by Main Street walking distance train to NYC. Great restaurants and shopping.

And down by beach, flood insurance, hurricanes, no basements.

I get all that on the Jersey Shore four blocks from the ocean. With a basement and no required flood insurance.

Puerto Rico, non stop flights. A lot of people own condos and fly for the weekend from the east coast.

Nice standalone homes in Town of Dorado, and Dorado Beach Puerto Rico.

But isn't PR hurricane prone?

I've also been to Turks & Caicos and st kitts, and the flights weren't crazy long.

Key West is definitely in a bad location for hurricanes.

It doesn’t have beaches that are soft sand.

Visit and you'll see. Super liberal policies of the west coast are creating Portland like disaster zones of homeless camps everywhere.

Ok I visit San diego a couple times a year including last month and I don’t see it there. No one would ever call San Diego super liberal either.

That sounds like Rodanthe, North Carolina.

Thousands of illegal aliens were dumped into SD neighborhoods recently.
It was reported in the news including locally there.

SD has lots of beaches, including some that are private. You can avoid homeless people depending on your budget.
