There are several stations from the Gloucester area reporting on Weather Underground

Unfortunately Weather Underground no longer identifies the station type nor the owner contact information. Unless someone here is from that area, or you recognize any of those locations, this will not be helpful to you.
I am not by the sea so have no direct experience, but have read the sea water and spray can be very hard on stations. The Davis stations are well built and have a great reputation but component failures are being reported. Somewhat helpful with this is a station that can be repaired or components replaced relatively easy, which includes the Davis VP2.
Most station are wireless and that would be the way to go - wireless from outside sensors to inside console/data logger. The outside sensor unit would be solar powered with a battery backup. The receiving console/data logger can be wired to computer i.e. serial or USB, or WiFi to your router, depending on how you are looking to view, log and share your data. Davis generally has the best distance reception.
Enjoy,
