Hotels in Central Coast, Australia

California's Central Coast stretches from Santa Barbara to Monterey, with a mild Mediterranean climate that brings dry summers averaging 70°F (21°C) and cool, wet winters around 50°F (10°C). Famous for the dramatic cliffs of Big Sur and Hearst Castle's 165-room estate, you can hike along Highway 1 in spring when wildflowers bloom, or go whale watching in winter when gray whales migrate past Morro Bay. Summer is perfect for wine tasting in Paso Robles' 200+ vineyards, while fall offers harvest festivals and fewer crowds at the coastal trails.
