COASTER and SPRINTER

When your meeting plans do not include sitting in traffic or high parking fees.

The COASTER offers the most scenic ride up and down San Diego's beautiful coastline. From the double-decker cars, your guest will view the ocean, spot a dolphin or two if they're lucky, and take in spectacular sunsets, without any of the stress of driving.

The COASTER operates north and south between downtown San Diego's Santa Fe Depot and Oceanside serving eight stations along the line. With over 40 trains Monday through Sunday, it is a great way for your attendees to visit the beaches, restaurants, wineries, breweries, art galleries, boutiques, theaters, concert venues, museums, and more along the coast. Children 6 and under are free with a paying adult. Amenities like free Wi-Fi in each car make the COASTER the better, faster, cheaper way to travel to the area's premium attractions.
