The rub with the Oregon coast? Little industry to speak of, other than tourism...which means most jobs are low wage, outside of the management positions, or perhaps banking executive, that sort of thing. As an earlier thread pointed out, Oregon has a very high income tax, high property tax, most fees and licenses also high...but, no sales tax. Also, though it's a beautiful area during the summer, the winter can drive people used to sunnier climates away. In a nutshell, the Oregon Coast would be a great place to retire to, and many do...
