While the big three of Los Angeles, San Diego and San Francisco get all the glory out west, California is loaded with small town, quirky charm up and down the diverse 1,264-mile coast. And hey, now that so many of us are no longer commuting to work, these towns are becoming more desirable for full-time living and not just a weekend jaunt.
From towns that will evoke a Gold Rush era feeling to seaside cliffs boasting world-class golf to a dessert oasis (and even a small-town nestled on an island that’s accessible only by boat or helicopter), you can have it all in the Golden State. Here are the most charming small towns in California.

California s minimum wage is going up on January 1.

Minimum wage for businesses with 25 or more employees will increase from $13 an hour to $14. It s part of the state s long-term minimum wage goal of $15 an hour by 2022. There could be a great argument saying, let s just cool our jets for a year and allow things to kind of settle in, said John Mackinnon, Moonstone Beach Bar & Grill Managing Partner.
