About Castroville
The town of Castroville California is a small place but is a sea-side location that is alive with a plethora of cultural history and a load of heart! Only a few miles from the soothing waters of marvelous Monterey Bay, the town of Castroville California sits right in the middle of fields of artichokes, and has been referred to as the ‘Artichoke Capital of the World’!
Every May, the town of Castroville California hosts the Castroville Artichoke Festival, and even has the Artichoke Queen, as the official presenter and guest of honor. Castroville California is much more than artichokes as there are so many natural and cultural activities to take part and experience as well. The town of Castroville California is only minutes away from Highway 101 and Highway One, which makes a weekend trip to this lovely central California town highly attractive and easily affordable.
Castroville California has many outdoor camping opportunities with RV parks and other various sites for which a weekend can be created! If camping out under the stars is not in the cards for this trip to Castroville California, then the visitors can receive a great night’s sleep at the Castroville Motel. With so much to see and do and enjoy it is no wonder why Castroville California is visited by so many each and every year!
This lovely little hamlet, that is Castroville California, is located in Monterey County and is easily accessible by the two major highways that run by this town. The family will never be bored as with any other central California family destination, there is always some to see and do. The Pacific Ocean is just a stones throw away or should we say, an artichoke throw away, and offers all the best and most traditional seaside community activities. Make sure the family vacation involves being in the footsteps of one of the most famous people on earth, Marilyn Monroe! That’s right; the beautiful starlet Marilyn Monroe was the very first Artichoke Queen crowned in 1948! Castroville California is a wonderful California destination location and encompasses everything that a truly fantastic seas-side excursion is all about!
