Ask HN: Family friendly beach town in California?

So I'm a work at home dad and software developer making an OK income doing open source development. My wife and kids are liking the idea of moving to California, but not for the Silicon Valley type of life.

What we would be looking for is a laid back beach side town where they can learn to surf, is not too expensive so I can keep working part time, and so on.

We were in Carlsbad a couple months back and liked it a lot, but priced out of our range. Years back I was around Ventura and liked it as well, but I have no idea what its like now.

Any thoughts? We're also checking out Mexico, Panama, Nicaragua, Costa Rica.

Thanks.
