By the Sea?

[BeardyMan]

I can see the sea from our little village. 8 miles away by road, probably 5 as the crow flies.

It's very windy. Like, always windy. Handy if you have wind turbine.

Summertime is a nightmare, hoards of tourists descend upon the place. (At least their driving is better than the locals; Cornish people shouldn't be allowed to operate a motor vehicle, they've got no idea how to use one properly.)

So pro's and cons, same as always. It's always windy though, always. Combined with either light rain, rain, torrential rain or biblical rain.
The locals can be funny with outsiders too, so make sure you get to know people in the area you'll be bugging out to (or moving to if you're daft like me)

Did I mention the wind?

So personally I don't think the North Cornwall coast (where I am) is the best spot. Maybe for a bug out location (if no where else to go) but certain not as a place to live.

Oh yeah, it's very windy too.
