If your goal in life is a house of your own near the beach, you can save money by steering clear of that vacation town that made you fall in love with the seashore. You'll also want to avoid cities. There are five seaside small towns where you can buy a home for less than $100 per square foot, and plenty of places where the median cost per square foot is not much higher. Property Shark gives us a list of the ten more affordable beach towns to buy a house in, with a description of each location. The most affordable by their calculations is Port Arthur, Texas, which has plenty of opportunities to commune with nature. What's the catch? Well, there's that big oil refinery nearby, but you can't have perfection when you're only paying $65 or less per square foot for your dream beach house. -via Digg
