(Not "single words", but it's a difficult question!).

Coast/seaside dweller

Collins defines it as:

dweller

noun inhabitant, resident, citizen, denizen, indweller

The number of city dwellers is growing.

And the definition itself gives other words for further combinations. The example in the definition shows that it can be used in the context of "city" as in "city dwellers", therefore a translation to "coast" or even "seaside" dwellers isn't too much of a stretch.

In your context: "We, seaside-dwellers , love to walk on the beach even in winter."
