We travelled this road from Los Angeles to San Francisco. Great choice of food at Pismo Beach and you MUST stop at Hearst Castle (last tour is at 4:20pm). We stayed overnight at Monterey which made it an easy drive on the 2nd day. Got to San Francisco around 3:30pm day 2. In hindsight I would do this the other... more

I can't say enough about this truly amazing drive and scenery. I did the drive in late August 2009 and just got back a couple of weeks ago. The weather was perfect. This was my first trip to CA and the Pacific Coast Highway has been on my list for many years. I'm so glad I finally got to see... more

California, you have a real natural treasure! We spent 2 days driving down the Pacific Coast Highway from San Francisco to L.A and were only sorry we didn't have more time to explore the trails and parks along this beautiful stretch of road. There were such amazing contrasts in the landscape and weather, we experienced 4 seasons in just 2... more

I was very lucky to be driven from LA to SF. We took 2 days to do it and the scenery was amazing switching from one dramatic scene to another. One minute you were in the south of Spain and then in the Yorkshire Dales. Santa Barbara is a great town to stop at, they have a great beach and... more

My boyfriend and I did the drive along the PCH from LA to San Francisco. We both loved it! We stopped for lunch in San Luis Obispo but other than that, no stopping. He drove and I took pictures from the car. There were parts of the PCH that didn't end up working out because the directions we had didn't... more

The scenery is stunning....but the weather....cold and foggy. inland a few miles and you'll be well blessed with sun but not on the coast. We travelled from San Francisco to Los Angeles - the best way to do it because your on the right side for the continuous views and easy access to the frequent pull ins. take pleny of... more

Route 1 between Morro Bay (South) and Monterey (North) is a truly beautiful stretch of road, and an unforgettable drive, especially at sunset. But the trip is made better if you're making stops between these locations and giving yourself a good couple of hours to complete. The windy track is single lane for the most, and should be approached as... more

If I could give this drive 6 stars, it wouldn't be enough! My wife & I rented a convertible and drove from SF to LA in March. I was expecting some beautiful scenery, but I couldn't have imagined anything like that. The rolling hills are on one side of you and the ocean is on the other. I constantly find... more

We drove down Highway 1 from the Golden Gate Bridge down to Big Sur during the month of July. We took it slow and kept stopping to view the scenery and take pictures. It was absolutely amazing. You are driving right along the ocean with the most amazing views - the ocean, the cliffs, crashing waves, flowers - it was... more
