The Amtrak Pacific Surfliner travels 351 miles along the Southern California coastlines, offering breathtaking views of beaches, oceans, rolling hills, grasslands, and canyons. This train ride is even more magical late in the evening when it waltzes through six counties: San Diego, Orange, Los Angeles, Ventura, Santa Barbara, and San Luis Obispo. For 5 hours and 45 minutes, you will see Southern California transformed as it basks in the glow of the moon.

The Pacific Surfliner runs five times daily, enveloping the coastlines connecting San Luis Obispo and San Diego. It stops in 27 inviting communities, including Irvine, Lompoc-Surf, Goleta, Moorpark, Simi Valley, Chatsworth, Carpinteria, Van Nuys, and Los Angeles.
