Amtrak Pacific Surfliners run along the coast of Southern California from San Diego to San Luis Obispo. These sleek double decker trains whisk you along the coast at speeds up to 80 miles an hour. Riding the surfliner gives you an opportunity to see many scenic areas of the coast not viewable from your automobiles. On a trip from Los Angeles to San Diego you pass the world famous surfing beach Trestles and then through Camp Pendelton to Oceanside. This section of the track is wide open and the train engineer runs the train at top speed. From Oceanside to Torrey Pines the train runs along the coast and then turns inland for the final miles before it reaches downtown San Diego. Taking the train for a day trip to San Diego is a fun alternative to driving the busy freeway. Just a short walk from the train station is the USS Midway Museum or you can take the San Diego Trolley to Old Town San Diego. For a fun day trip park your car at the nearest station and ride the Amtrak Pacific Surfliner.

North of Los Angeles Amtrak Surfliners hug the coast from Oxnard all the way to Vanderberg Air Force Base. The trains pass by Santa Barbara, Gaviota State Beach, Jalama Beach, Santa Maria, Pismo Beach and then on to San Luis Obispo. On this section of the track there are miles of pristine coastline before you head inland. From here the Surfliner travels through oak covered valleys filled with miles of grape vines until it reaches the rich farm land of Santa Maria.The Pacific Surfliner offers twelve daily round-trip journeys between San Diego and Los Angeles, and between Santa Barbara and San Diego. Amtrak Pacific Surfliners are a great way to see Southern California.
