beach community
Seaside residential area
A beach community is a town or neighborhood situated along a coastline, typically characterized by a relaxed atmosphere, tourism-oriented economy, and lifestyle centered on the ocean.
The term suggests not just geography but a shared culture: The beach community rallied against the offshore drilling proposal.
Beach communities range from wealthy enclaves to laid-back surf towns.
