The San Andreas Fault, a major California fault line, runs from east of San Diego northward. It passes east of Los Angeles, continues northward east of Monterey. Then passes through the towns of San Juan Bautista and Hollister. It continues northward just west of San Jose, up the San Francisco Peninsula, continues northward and eventually turns west into the Pacific Ocean south of Eureka.
