Things to Do in the California Central Coast

By Mary Pat Higley

Introduction

A popular stretch along the Pacific Ocean, the central coast of California includes the regions of Monterey Bay, San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, and Venture. This stretch spans 350 miles, offering dramatic scenery and refreshing beauty as well as nearly everything travelers could expect from a California vacation.

About the Coast

While taking a drive along the coast is relaxing in itself, there are many other places to explore along the way. There are several California state parks, including Julia Pfeiffer Burns State Park, the home of an endlessly flowing waterfall. In addition to the scenery, travelers encounter charming little towns along the way.
