Well there's no visible mountain range near the coast, but if you did, there are many deserts along the sea - the Mediterranean sea side of the Sahara, the west coast of South America, including Peru and Chile is practically all desert, even down to Patagonia. The west coast of the US, especially in Southern California is pretty much desert to the sea. Look at Baja, all desert there too. So there are plenty of deserts along the sea, mostly if there's a coastal range, however.
