On a busy day during summer, there might be 2 dozen other people on the 2 miles stretch of beach I walk regularly.

I have been amazed by property prices around the country. Especially in the middle of nowhere, but then again, it's the middle of nowhere.
You won't find a place like that in L.A. County, but you can find bigger places in Ventura County, also right at the beach and way less crowded. The coastline here is huge! Most of it very valuable, but plenty of affordable places too.
That's another problem with never having been here, but making assumptions. A lot of the discussions on PP revolve around L.A. and Orange Counties. You (and others) are getting skewed impressions.
