Monterey used to the the capital of Spanish California. It was the place where one of the first masses was celebrated in 1602 on the Vizcaíno expedition. Sebastián Vizcaíno would later visit Japan in 1611 to escort Tanaka Shōsuke and Hasekura Tsunenaga. There's a presidio there and the second mission established by St. Junípero Serra.
Not to far away is Carmel by the Sea where St. Junípero Serra and Juan Crespí are buried. Nearby is also Pebble Beach and the 17 Mile Drive.
Just south of Watsonville is Moss Landing. There's a pretty cool Army surplus store between the two.
Northwest of Watsonville is Santa Cruz with its mission and beach boardwalk. There's a bunch of train related places around Santa Cruz like Roaring Camp.
With regard to rains, the Amtrak Coast Starlight does pass through Watsonville Junction, but it only stops in Salinas.
