It was an ideal first leg of my San Francisco-San Diego journey.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Getting There:<\/strong> The train from San Francisco to Salinas, in Monterey County, takes just under three hours (from $33). From there, Amtrak\u2019s free connector bus gets you the last 20 minutes to Monterey. While this stretch of the journey isn\u2019t along the coast yet, you do pass through some vintage NorCal scenery, as the train shoots between the Santa Cruz mountains, through the green garlic fields of Gilroy, the abandoned ghost town of Drawbridge and the rolling green Pajaro Gap. Best of all, the Coast Starlight is a double-decker train with an observation car that allows you to sit facing out and soak in the view. (Note: If you\u2019re only doing this leg of the trip, you can alternatively take the Capital Corridor train to San Jose, plus a connector bus to Monterey, which gets you there quicker, in just over two hours total).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Things to Do: <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-5482 alignleft lazyload\" title=\"monterey bike trails\" alt=\"monterey bike trails\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"https:\/\/offmetro.com\/sf\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/7369161138_b7111123d6_z.jpg\" width=\"320\" height=\"239\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-5482 alignleft lazyload\" title=\"monterey bike trails\" alt=\"monterey bike trails\" src=\"https:\/\/offmetro.com\/sf\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/7369161138_b7111123d6_z.jpg\" width=\"320\" height=\"239\" srcset=\"https:\/\/offmetro.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/7369161138_b7111123d6_z.jpg 533w, https:\/\/offmetro.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/7369161138_b7111123d6_z-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/offmetro.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/7369161138_b7111123d6_z-33x25.jpg 33w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 320px) 100vw, 320px\" \/><\/noscript>1. Grab a set of wheels from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.baybikes.com\">Bay Bikes<\/a> (from $8\/hour) in downtown Monterey and hop on the <strong>Monterey Bay Coastal Trai<\/strong>l\u2014also ideal for walking or running. The oceanfront path is one of the most scenic in Northern California, and is relatively flat as it continues through Pacific Grove, then slightly uphill to Sunset Drive as the road curves around the peninsula for perfect Pacific views (and of course, sunsets).<\/p>\n<p>2. The town\u2019s main attraction, the <strong>Monterey Bay Aquarium<\/strong>, is worth the hype (it\u2019s often called the best in the world). Inside you\u2019ll find giant Pacific octopi, penguins, sea turtles, and an impressive new jellyfish exhibit\u2014plus views of orcas and otters from the deck. The literally eye-popping admission price ($34.95) is enough to give pause, but you can take comfort in knowing proceeds go to ocean conservation efforts.<\/p>\n<p>3. Steinbeck fans will be disappointed to find the author\u2019s famed <strong>Cannery Row<\/strong> now home to nothing more than tourist traps and knickknack stores. It\u2019s hardly worth even seeing. Instead, head the other way from downtown to <strong>Monterey State Beach<\/strong>, a crowd-free stretch of sand where you may also spot otters and seals.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Where to Eat: <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>1.
