Martin,

I don't mean to be snarky, and I'm sure you and your wife have thought of this, but just the same, I'll say it:

There's a lot more to the US than NYC, plenty of it with beaches, so it isn't clear to me why you aren't considering elsewhere in the US first.

If I were you I'd think about putting all my stuff in storage and either buy or rent a great cruising vehicle (at the low end of cost either sedan or minivan, or at the upper end an RV) and spend a few months exploring the US (and maybe Canada, while you're at it). I'd guess that you'll come across some spots that don't interest you, but surely there will be others that you really like. If at the end of a few months you conclude that there's really nothing in the country for you, then you can consider elsewhere.

Good Luck in your search.
