Does anyone have advice or opinions about particular one-person tents?  I
have a nice two-person Marmot tent, but would like to get something with
a smaller footprint, for camping on thin slivers of Northwest beaches in
potentially) cool and rainy weather!

When I spent two weeks paddling in the Queen Charlottes last Sept. I used
my North Face Arches.  It has a screen canopy with a full-coverage fly. 
It is not free-standing, but that has never been a problem yet, I use
deadmen on rocky ground.  We had rain most nights and got pinned down by
a rainy gale for two days near the beginning of the trip.  I had nary a
drop of water in the tent.  I don't think TNF makes this model anymore,
but the Canyonlands or Mountain Marathon should be similar, with the Mtn
Marathon being better because of the larger vestibule.
