Do you live in a small town on the east coast of the US? Help me please!?

I am participating in NaNoWriMo this year, which is a Novel Writing program. I want my character to live in a small town setting, preferably snug up against the coast.

Small Hospital or nearby hospital

just a few restaurants and general stores, nothing too fancy

a nice little place where everybody knows everybody and calls each other by their first names, etc.

the more information you can give me about this town the better, as it will be playing a big part in the story.

things like - hang out places, bars, main streets, etc.

thanks sooo much in advance!

    Best friend is from Ludowici, Ga. It's near Savannah and the coast kinda. It's a way small town (pop 1,400). It's also near the Altamaha River. Which apparently is rumored to have a sea monster living in it. Not sure if thats your fortay. Just thought it was interesting.

    The town is pronounced Loo'duh-wee'-see and named for a German Immigrant who came to the area. It's got a big roofing tile company there. It used to be known as a big speed trap for cops.

    You should look into using one of the small coastal area towns in Monmouth County NJ. The three that I would recommend are Red Bank, Asbury Park, and Belmar. The reason? They are great towns with a ton of history. Also many fabulous bars, restaurants, and shops. They would provide a ton of material. If you want more information feel free to email me and I will give you specifics.
