Here are a few ideas for spring getaways that can start with a trip on the Pacific Surfliner:

Whale Watching: Step off the train and onto a boat for a chance to see blue whales, humpbacks or even orcas up close, as well as sea lions and dolphins. Excursions depart daily from San Diego, Oceanside, Ventura, and Santa Barbara.

Wine Tasting: Downtown Santa Barbara is home to dozens of tasting rooms and working wineries. Just 45-minutes outside the city is a world-class wine country featuring more than 100 thriving vineyards and family-owned wineries. Get there via a Thruway bus service connection from the Santa Barbara Station.

Surf and Sand: There are plenty of stations that are a short walk from the beaches in Oceanside, Ventura, Santa Barbara, and others. Pack a picnic and enjoy the waves from the sand or make plans to rent a kayak or paddleboard and get out on the water.
