Coastal grandpa is a trend on tiktok/pinterest. It's typified by a coastal/maritime but a sense of coziness as well. If possible, I'd love to read a contemporary fiction book with this kind of atmosphere. I know this is very niche but you guys are amazing!
I would link examples of coastal grandpa but it keeps getting flagged by automod. 😔

I don’t know anything about this trend so I’m not sure if this 100% fits but maybe Remarkably Bright Creatures by Shelby Van Pelt. It’s set in the Pacific Northwest and is about an elderly woman that works night cleaning a local aquarium. She befriends a giant pacific octopus who wants to help the elderly woman solve the mystery of her son’s death. It’s super cozy and one of my favorite books this year!
If you like romance, It Happened One Summer by Tessa Bailey is also set in the Pacific Northwest in a small fishing town. The FMC is from LA and gets sent to the small Washington town by her stepdad and mom because she keeps getting into trouble in LA. She meets a fisherman and they develop a relationship. It’s not my favorite Tessa Bailey book, but I think it fits some of your parameters.
