Coastal California- which is also known as the Golden Coast or coastline of California – is a region along the Pacific Ocean in the 'Golden State.' The region is renowned for artisan communities like Laguna Beach, the grandeur of Redwood Forests, rural vineyards, the Pacific Coast Highway, and glitzy cosmopolitan sprawls of San Francisco and Los Angeles. From the 19th-century Gold Rush to the dot-com boom, the region has seen trends and the future coming.
Classification of Coastal California
- North Coast
- San Francisco Bay Area

While the fog-kissed North Coast is ideal for rollicking brewpubs and visiting historical towns, the sun-kissed South Coast is a hotbed for beach-combing, surfing, and making cinematic fantasies come true. Carmel-by-the-Sea, Monterey, Big Sur, Garrapata State Park, Morro Bay, and Santa Cruz are popular travel destinations in Coastal California.
