For the first month or two I want to find a place where I can just relax and chill and get healthy again. Preferably somewhere I can rent a room or an apartment, close to the ocean/sea where I can go walking on the beach and swimming and close to good walking trails and cool stuff to explore.

I don't want somewhere touristy or a big city but I have several businesses/websites that are going to fund my travels so I'll need to be able to get access to the internet on a regular basis (I'll have a laptop).

Somewhere with friendly people and a good market where I can buy fresh food to cook. Rustic is good, I don't need luxury, just a clean place to sleep.

So, to the experts: Any suggestions? Any off-the-beaten-path cool villages you want to share? Know anyone who might have a room to rent? I'm open to just about any thing and any where really as long as it's relatively inexpensive.
