They're right there.

Now, I think that houses should not be built on the beach. That is allowed, though, but access up to the mean high tide line is guaranteed in California, with a few very specific exceptions. You can't go to beaches that are on military bases, or on beaches that are in front of nuclear power plants, for example.
