The Central Coast is internationally recognized as one of the natural
treasures of the West, offering craggy cliffs, ancient redwoods, and
endless beaches to explore. This book, written by fourth- and
fifth-generation Californians, takes travelers to some of the most
sought-after destinations, including shops, inns, restaurants, and
wineries known only to the locals until now. With a down-to-earth
appreciation for their own stomping grounds, the authors write as
enthusiastic guides, eager to share what they know and love about the
region. Rich in detail, covering everything from the autumnal monarch
butterfly migration to opera festivals, the best honky-tonk blues joints
to fine dining steeped in tradition and elegance, this book homes in on
an eclectic selection of what makes this strip of coastline one of the
most desired destinations in the world.
