Central Coast, California, Sports

Sometimes known as the "Middle Kingdom," California's central coast is a peaceful pause between the bustle of the San Francisco Bay Area and the urban spread of southern California. The Central Coast Region, between Los Angeles and San Francisco, features Los Padres National Forest, the Big Sur Coast, 11 state parks, 16 state beaches, six state historic parks, and two state reserves.

At Big Sur, south of Monterey, Highway 1 follows a coastal route over dramatic bridges and past historic lighthouses. As along the North Coast Region, Highway 101 offers a speedier route somewhat inland. Agricultural communities include Castroville, the "Artichoke Capital of the World," and Gilroy, a garlic lover's heaven. A string of missions extends from San Juan Bautista to Santa Barbara.

During spring and fall the sun shines most of the time. Summer fogs can be thick and cool, while fall brings temperatures in the high 80s.

For example, with a regular search engine, if you wanted to find "football" as a feature for "Sports" in Central Coast and California, you would type into the search box something like:

...and the search engine would look for all four keywords. With Bonosearch, you decide in advance what location you want and what category. The Bonosearch staff has identified hundreds of thousands of URLs belonging to real people, places, businesses, and organizations and identified the location and best category for each, so when you use Bonosearch, you only enter the keyword. Spurious results are mostly avoided.
