Some of these communities have nothing but a coast!

It's probably in a Jared Diamond book somewhere about shifting expectations depending on where you grow up, some people can't imagine that people live in a place where you can't hear the sea, because they only knew that.

Also, for those that have some high areas, chances are the high areas are a volcano. If it is, it likely is an active volcano, as this region is on the ring of fire (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ring_of_Fire)
