Salinas is a charming suburban community located at the entrance to Salinas Valley. Salinas' lodging options include beautiful Salinas inns and charming Salinas bed and breakfasts. Due in part to its close proximity to the Pacific Ocean,
Salinas enjoys a generally mild climate. Salinas is one of America's and California's richest regions for farming. A uniquely Salinas characteristic is its moderate and cool weather--"natural air conditioner" climate--thanks to the fog and ocean air coming from Monterey Bay. Meanwhile, Salinas' northern and southern areas have warmer summers as nearby mountains block the breeze coming from the ocean. Learn more about Salinas' history as you visit the John Steinbeck Museum, the California Rodeo Museum, and the Harvey-Baker House. For rodeo-lovers, Salinas is a dream-come-true, as it is a major professional rodeo circuit stop. Other events in Salinas include wine-tasting, barbeques, cowboy poetry, and the gala cowboy ball. After a day spent picnicking, sightseeing, touring, shopping, and dining at one of the local restaurants, you can continue to enjoy the evening as you relax in your chosen Salinas inn or Salinas bed and breakfast.
