Home to California's oldest amusement park, the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk features two National Historic Landmarks, a carousel built in 1911 and the wooden roller coaster known as the Giant Dipper, built in 1924. Although these old school rides continue to attract rental bus visitors, an array of arcades, games and thrill rides offer plenty of options for all ages. The recently opened Haunted Castle ride descends below the boardwalk, while the Hurricane roller coaster offers 4.5 Gs and 80-degree banking angles.

Midway on your rental bus ride between Los Angeles and San Francisco stands the estate formerly owned by newspaper magnate William Randolph Hearst. This stunning edifice stands at the top of a tall hill, overlooking the nearby shoreline. Hearst endeavored to build a castle fit for a European nobleman, with over 50 bedrooms, indoor and outdoor pools, a movie theater, an airfield and a private zoo. Movie stars and Hollywood elites were regular visitors, and Hearst complemented the architecture by assembling one of the most impressive private collections of paintings and sculptures in the world. Public tours are conducted daily, and while the Hearst family retains some property rights, the area is recognized as a National Historic Landmark. Nearby beaches provide plenty of wildlife as well. Rental bus tourists come to see the elephant seals breed there each winter, and the descendants of Hearst's zoo, such as zebras, gazelle and other herd animals, that continue to roam the estate.

Off the beaten path in California

The official “unofficial” guide to California is Rob Lowe. While you may love his movies, some of you may not share your love for the same places he might be recommending. So make your own adventure and goo off the beaten path with Bus Rental Ca.

One hidden treasure located halfway between California and San Francisco, just north of Morro Bay on California Highway One is Cayucos and you can easily get there with bus rental CA services. This quaint California beach town has its origins in the late 1800s and still maintains a nineteenth century look.

It’s reputed to be one of the best places along the coast to go antique shopping and if you love to look for a bargain, there are about a half dozen places along Ocean Avenue that will have you enthralled for hours on end with your bus transportation.

You could also rent a bus to tour the murals scattered around town for a look at how different eyes see the neighborhood.

Another place worth visiting is Casa Grande, located a half-hour drive north of Morro Bay. Commonly known as Hearst Castle, it was the home of American newspaper publisher William Randolph Hearst who built the nation’s largest newspaper chain and whose methods profoundly influenced American journalism.

If you’re planning on visiting the area between December to February, then the elephant seal rookery about four and a half miles north of Hearst Castle is a must visit attraction. The seals come up around this time of the year to give birth and it’s not uncommon to see about 4,000 newborn pups during that time.

Food wise, local charter bus rental customers recommend Hoppe's Bistro, a charming place along the coast, with a pretty garden and a menu that includes rare, locally farmed red abalone! And when paired with a wine from nearby wine country of Paso Robles, you get a mouth-watering meal unlike any other.

So, that’s the low down (no pun intended) on one of California’s best-kept little hideaways that you can easily visit with Bus Rental Ca.

Jaw-dropping Californian Beaches

Some may look for beautiful beaches in California, some may be looking for nudist beaches instead…well, if you are looking for something different, here are a couple of beaches that some people, like our bus rental CA customers, believe they should be classified as either ‘out of this world’ or simply ‘weird’. Take a look around and see for yourself.

One of them would be a beach along Big Sur alled Pfeiffer Beach because they have purple sand. Yes, you heard right, purple sand. For your information, the color is due to the tiny pieces of garnets that can be found in the sand. Honestly, some people commented that they felt like there was a spillage of some sort or perhaps Nature wanted to put a twist to Californian beaches.

On the other end of the ‘out of this world’ spectrum would be Glass Beach in Fort Bragg. You would have to agree, at the end of the day, that it is one of the world’s most amazingly jaw-dropping sight because after decades of warming up the glass shards, the beach now simply looks serene, peaceful, gorgeous and most importantly, glittery with harmless glass shards.

Oceano Beach in Pismo is just about the only beach along the CA stretch that permits vehicles on its beach. Most weekend speed and car lovers will bring their large, bulky off-the-road vehicles here for a spin. Not a place you would want to have your kids rolling around in nor would you want to lay out the picnic blanket, though.

As expected, California beaches are great for any kind of outdoor activity so, if you have organizing a group vacation with your friends, family, relatives, co-workers or church members, please do remember to give bus rental CA a call for a quick bus rental quote. We would to hear from you and be your travel partner now or in the very near future.
