Beaches & Vineyards on California's Central Coast
Let loose on an unforgettable family adventure along the sun-drenched Santa Barbara coastline to the inland hideaway of Ojai. Cycle together along seaside bike paths and on quiet country roads. Hang ten while catching a wave. There's nothing quite like wiggling your toes in the soft white sand of California's Pacific coast. See you on the American Riviera!
Highlights
- Surf like a pro! Kids don wetsuits and learn to catch a wave while adults log more miles on their bikes and explore Santa Barbara
- Savor innovative farm-to-table California cuisine—more than a foodie experience, here it's a way of life
- Cycle along breezy coastal bike paths and follow winding country roads inland to discover secluded valleys
- Embrace the endless summer lifestyle as you paddle your kayak along the Pacific coast to see marine wildlife
