Pacific Coast Highway - I think its 101. I've driven it between San Francisco and Los Angeles.. It's not the fastest route, especially if you get stuck behind a camper. One lane each way but the views are breathtaking. Big Sur, 17 mile drive/Pebble Beach is a must. Get your camera ready. If you can, go further north from San Francisco to the Napa Valley and take in some vineyards.
I'm sure the local boys can give you more on the POI.

Santa Barbara, Carmel/Monterey.........Pebble Beach? yes of course. Just start driving the adventure in and of itself will be remembered. If you can don't plann. Just start driving and don't get in a rush.

Yup, 1 up the coast all the way... If you leave early enough from L.A. (i.e. 6 a.m., you'll miss traffic and it won't make the trip that much longer than 5...)

Thats the plan, but I am looking for interesting things to do. No planning, but just would like to know what is in each area.

YEEEHAAAA...

You must listen to me right now.. If you want to "DRIVE" the best road you could possibly imagine, I am going to send you to CA 198




I have friends that often beg me, to drive 3 hrs. north, just so we can drive this road and come home. I've been tempted to do it.

CA 198 is a stretch of road, 68 miles long, that will bring you East/West between the 101 and 5. It has every type of turn, elevation, switch back, etc. that you could ever imagine and the scenery is nothing short of amazing.

EVERYTIME I drive from LA to northern California, I make it a point to drive this amazing, amazing road. It is just south of King City and I highly recommend to anyone who considers themselves a driving enthusiast. It's got mountain climbs, sweeping long turns, mountain decents, EVERYTHING...
