Coastal Mississippi (Location Key)

In The Town Eula Snopes tells Gavin Stevens that after her daughter Linda graduated from high school, Flem took her "to the coast" (339), "so she could swim in the ocean and meet people" (340). The Gulf of Mexico is not technically the "ocean," but it's likely that they went to one of the Mississippi resort towns on the Gulf, like Bay St. Louis, where the Priest family vacations in The Reivers.
