The region is known primarily for agriculture and tourism. Major crops include lettuce, strawberries, and artichokes. In particular, the Salinas Valley is one of the most fertile farming regions in the United States. Popular tourist attractions include Cannery Row (in Monterey), the Monterey Bay Aquarium, the golf courses of Pebble Beach and the Monterey Peninsula , the rugged coastline of Big SurBig Sur is a section of the California coast, typically considered to run from Carmel-by-the-Sea in the north to San Luis Obispo, or more precisely to the Hearst Castle at San Simeon in the south.

The largest city in the region is SalinasSalinas is the county seat of Monterey County, California. As of the 2000 census, the city had a total population of 151,060.

Due to the low population density of the central coast, educational and cultural resouces are relatively scarce. University of California campuses are found both in Santa Cruz and Santa Barbara, on the exreme north and south edges of the region, respectively. One of the universities found within the central coast area itself is California State UniversityThe California State University CSU system has a combined 23 campuses, 414,000 students, and 44,000 faculty and staff, making it the largest university system in the United States. The CSU awards more than half of the bachelor's degrees and a third of the, Monterey Bay (CSUMB), founded in 1994 using facilities donated when Fort Ord was converted from military to civilian uses. In San Luis Obispo the state university California Polytechnic (Cal Poly) has been in full operation for decades. This campus is the sister campus of the California Polytechnic school of Pomona, California.

Travel through the area is almost entirely by private automobile, since mass transit is limited to a handful of municipal bus lines. There are no major airports. The only major highway in the area is 101, which runs north-south throughout the entire central coast. This highway connects Monterey County to the Bay Area in the north. A smaller but much more scenic route, California State Route 1, connects the many coastal communities together.
