Antenna advice

Hello,
Been lurking here for a while and trying to figure out what is going to work for me.

My home is located in what I believe to be a pretty difficult area. Looking for some advice on what to purchase to cut the cord. There are 2 main directions for local signals, and both have ridgelines rising quickly from my house.
1) Basically due north is a ridgeline that rises about 100 feet in 2 city blocks. multi story houses are built going up this ridge- including one directly behind my house.
2) The second set of signals is at 335 degrees. This is blocked by a 300-400 foot ridgeline that rises within 4 blocks. Same deal with multi story houses.

We have 2 tv's in the house with a potential 3rd down the line. Cable runs would be about 50 feet from the antenna.

I figure I'm going to need an external antenna on a 20 foot mast with an amplifier- but what to get is beyond me. One last thing- I'm 1/4 mile from the ocean- so corrosion resistance is pretty important.

Any assistance is apreciated.

Thanks,
