Where else in the world can be said to have alike nature scenery/geography as California's coast? It Can't be an island or tropical humid weather. It has to be dry medditeriadian like.

All i know of : Chile, Italy, Spain, Greece, and Baja California.

all these countries have vineyards, mountains, beaches, channel islands,warm weather, diverse landscape. Also none are islands, they are apart of the mainland of their countries.

The west facing Atlantic coast of Namibia (just northwest of South Africa) has a lot in common with the west coast of southern California. Both places have cool ocean water currents year round and a desert-like arid climate. Namibia is closer to the equator and has less temperature variation than coastal Southern Cal. The marine life of Namibia is similar to places along the CA coast, with lots of seals and sea lions. Of course, great white sharks prowl offshore to feed on the seals & sea lions. Unlike Southern Cal, most of the coast of Namibia is a protected natural reserve or park zone, with little commercialization or development.

Northern Israel near Haifa/Carmel mtns for scenery, but the entire country of Israel is like southern CA. The Dead Sea and Death Valley are both freaking hot. Tel Aviv reminds me of a rundown SD, with an SF scale tech scene.

Perth reminds me very much of coastal California circa mid-70s. Idyllic.

I was in Chile in 1994, it is an amazingly beautiful country, huge range of environments, stunning coast - up there with any in the world. It has probably not changed that much outside of the Santiago area.
