Looking to retire on the coast.

My wife and I currently live in Kansas. We're looking to possibly retire on the coast. We are familiar with the Arch Cape to Seaside areas. Wife's brother lives in Portland. I've been eying Brookings based on weather as well. We enjoy a nice variety of restaurants and hope for a place that has decent hospital care. Housing budget is around 675k. I realize that puts me out of cannon beach/Arch cape area. We're pretty flexible on areas and would like to hear your input.
