Overview

San Francisco is perhaps the most romantic of American cities. The clanging of the cable of car bell in Fisherman’s Wharf, the warm aroma of cappuccino in Italian North Beach, the sizzle of fresh Cantonese food in Chinatown, the breeze blowing across the Golden Gate Bridge- come please your senses in the place locals simply call “the City”.

But beyond SF, there’s one of the most magnificent coastlines you’ll ever see. Santa Cruz is Northern California’s “Surf City”. Catch the monster waves at Steamer’s Lane (with your camera), and then stroll the old-time atmosphere of the Santa Cruz Boardwalk, full of roller coaster’s and other seaside attractions. Further to the south, Monterey lies along the bay. Long ago it was the capital of “Alta California”. Now it’s a great tourist attraction. Come visit its world-renowned aquarium, sitting alongside Cannery Row, the fishery made famous by the novelist John Steinbeck. Take the beautiful 17-mile drive, running through coastal forests and along beautiful Pebble Beach, where Tiger Woods has practiced his magic. You’ll finish in Carmel, a particularly wealthy hamlet along the sea. Tour the art galleries and grab a souvenir. All this is just a taste of what the California coast can offer you!
