About California
Lots of destinations can claim to have it all, but California truly does – snow-capped mountains and arid deserts, sunny beaches and shaded redwood forests, theme parks, movie stars, Wine Country and Gold Rush country.
Explore California
Overview
Sunny Southern California is the home of Hollywood and Disneyland. Relax on the beach in Santa Monica, cruise along the coast in San Diego or live it up, Old Hollywood style, in Palm Springs. Santa Barbara and Monterey Bay are laid-back ocean destinations that attract surfers from around the world. Start in Los Angeles, urban and modern, but don’t miss the culture and adventure that lies just a short drive away in any direction.
Cooler Northern California is rocky beaches, dense forests and twisting mountain roads. It’s also San Francisco, with its steep, hilly streets and iconic Golden Gate Bridge. It’s here you can find Napa and Sonoma, which together produce some of the world’s best wines.
