Enjoy a romantic coastal train ride under the light of a full moon

If you're looking to leave California altogether on your next romantic getaway, this moonlight train ride is the perfect destination activity.

Sure, we have it all here in California and the coast is especially beautiful. Go further up north and you can get some relief from Sacramento's hot summer days along the Oregon coast. When you're ready for that relief, you should check out Oregon Coast Scenic Railroad's Romantic Moonlight Train Ride that departs from Garibaldi, OR.

This round-trip ride takes you under the light of a full moon while you enjoy drinks and treats. Because there's alcohol on the train, this ride is for age 21+ only.

I haven't been to this part of Oregon, but I imagine it's gorgeous. At first glance, there are dozens of hotel options. I found these oceanfront cabins, homes, and lofts in Manzanita, about 30 minutes away from the train depot that I thought looked perfect for a romantic getaway.
