You’ll pay any price? You’re aware of what that means in California?

Chula Vista on the outskirts of San Diego fits your list.

OP, anywhere that's within an easy drive of the ocean, and has lots to do, is going to be expensive. Ventura was a good suggestion, though NorCal will have nippier winters, if that's what you're looking for. In the Bay Area, for example, in parts of it you still get a snowfall of sorts every few years, though the climate is warming, generally. IDK, I hesitate to make any recommendations, without knowing what line of work you're in, and what kind of budget you'd be working with. Interesting that you didn't mention any of that in your post. Apparently, that's not a concern for you?

In any case, Sacramento comes to mind. 2-hr. drive to the ocean, lots to do, a UC nearby, not a traffic nightmare. You could post on the Sac sub-forum, to get more info. Also consider nearby Davis, which is where the UC is. smaller town, still lots to do, intellectual crowd, bike-friendly. You might like it. Sac & Davis get hot in the summer, though Sac residents will tell you that breezes off the Bay up the Sacramento River cool things off at night. Not sure about Davis re: those delta breezes. Still, it's worth checking out.
For the OP, it should be noted that only higher elevations of the Bay Area (local mountains) get snowfall every few years. Any urbanized area near sea level will not. San Francisco hasn't seen a snowfall since 1976, nor has my hometown of Walnut Creek.

There really aren't ANY cities at low elevations in California that will be in the 30s and 40s during the winter during the daytime, but during the nighttime, most inland areas will, whether in Northern or Southern California. However, Southern California winter daytime temps tend to be in the 60s vs the 50s in Northern California.

Almost all urbanized and suburbanized parts of CA are within a reasonable drive to the ocean.
