OAKLAND INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT About 5 miles south of downtown Oakland, at the Hagenberger Road exit off Calif. 17 (I-880), Oakland International walking store Airport (& 510/563-3300; www.oaklandairport.com) is used primarily by passengers with East Bay destinations.

Cannery Row has forever made the Monterey waterfront famous, and East of Eden offers insight into the way of life in the Salinas walking store Valley.
