Regions at a Glance
Coastal California's cities have more flavors than a jar of jelly eans. Start in San
Francisco, equal parts earth mother and geek chic, or Los Angeles, where dozens
of independent cities are rolled into one multicultural mosaic. Later, kick back in
surf-style San Diego.
Calling you away from California's metro areas are misty redwood forests on the
North Coast, country lanes winding past vineyards in Napa and Sonoma wine
country, wildlife spotting on the Central Coast, and the cinematic beaches of
Orange County and Santa Barbara.
On sunny days, when the coastal fog lifts, more than 800 miles of Pacific
beaches await.
