Why is it I suspect you know all about heat and humidity given where you live? I also thought of St. Augustine and although I also agree with the possibility of San Diego (where we all know it is never humid being right on the ocean and all) I think the Oregon or even the Vineyard idea might work.
Costs down? that might somewhat depend on the flight markets out of DFW.

I prefer the west coast beaches in Florida. Anna Maria/Bradenton Beach area is really lovely. Billowy waves, beautiful color water, lots of sea shells and always a breeze.
I am going to the St. Augustine Beach this August, but that is because I am also visiting relatives there.

Love Florida - in the winter.
No humidity or bugs then to speak of.
But it is a beautiful drive along the West Coast - and the Gulf side ain't too shabby at all - and liked driving down the Keys.
Still - here in San Diego - many more options than anywhere in Florida - except around Miami.

Oops - got that backwards. The Atlantic is on the East side - and Gulf on the West. Drove both - at least part way down on the Atlantic side to Venice (from Orlando and then Tampa/St Pete) - on the gulf side - all the way south to Miami on the Atlantic side - the highlight of my drive from the Orlando area - east - aand then from Cape Caneverval/Kennedy south was stopping at the Dodger Spring Training camp in Vero Beach.
Have wanted to do that since I followed the Dodgers back in the early 50's.
Also loved going through Palm Beach, etc.

And while I grew up in Oregon - and love the rugged Oregon coast - and am part Polar Bear - not many other people venture into the water from say - north of Carmel/Monterrey in California.
Just doesn't warm up - but you can hang on the beach.
