Mediterranean coastline is 28,600 miles. Californian coastline is ~850 miles. Also, much, much lower COL in certain countries, obviously going up for premier destinations (like Ibiza, etc.) California coastal properties are ALL mind-blowingly expensive. I don't work at FAANG so CA property is a non-starter.
