North Carolina shoreline if in the US.

(Due to balance of cost, projected appreciation in that area, and ability to rent the property ).

If just looking for something… fun.

St Croix could be an option.

Or Puerto Rico.

Lima, Peru has some okay condos in Miraflores and Barranco that might fit your budget / needs.

Are there areas of the NC shoreline that are reasonably protected from climate change effects?

This is a very ignorant question, although depending on your familiarity it could be forgiven.

The main threat to the NC barrier islands is humans' insistence on things not changing. The natural state of barrier islands is to erode, move, grow, shrink, sink into the sea, reappear. The historical and geological records are quite clear on this. The efforts we put into trying to make them stay put do far more damage than climate change ever will.

It was truly an innocent question. My experience of NC is as a sailboat delivery captain. So my view of NC is that the coast is low lying, sandy areas that are in an area that is in the path of increasingly common and extreme tropical revolving storms.

I was just wondering if there were areas on the NC coast that don’t meet that description
