Hotels in Central Coast, Australia

The Central Coast of California stretches from Santa Barbara to Monterey, famous for its dramatic cliffs and world-class Pinot Noir from the Santa Maria Valley. With a Mediterranean climate averaging 60-75°F (15-24°C) year-round, you can hike the bluffs at Julia Pfeiffer Burns State Park in spring wildflower season, or go whale watching in Monterey Bay from December to April. During foggy summers, explore Hearst Castle's 165 rooms and Roman-inspired pools, while fall brings grape harvests and wine-tasting tours along the 120-mile Santa Barbara Wine Trail.
