Born and raised in Swampscott, but all my friends were water rats from Marblehead (next town over and bitter rivals) Made for a lot of physical beatings in football and hockey for me, we beat them in football, they kill us in hockey, I always got run by my 'friends' every game...after a summer of sailing, fishing and raising hell with them.
Actually made the move to Marblehead when I got divorced, and changed careers. Now I work almost exclusively in town. Furthest access to in-town shore fishing is seven minutes, closest is 200 yards away. Boat is docked half a mile from the house. Nice community with a great seafaring history. And good fishing. Kids are here. It's home. Tough to leave in the summer.
Now if there were a place on the ocean with mountain access like Lake Tahoe, I might be tempted to move......
