  • The time has come for us to take on the world-renowned scenic road- the Pacific Coast Highway. We knew California was beautiful, but we certainly weren’t expecting this supreme of beauty and magnitude. We are only two days into the drive up the coast, and we are more than sure that we will be surprised again and again as we head up north.
    Follow along to see where we head next.

    Absolutely stunning!!! To be honest, I've never wanted to go to California. I like the east coast. After seeing this, I'm thinking I should go west!!! Thank you for sharing such beauty!
    How did you find the place on the coast to park? IOverlander? Safe travels!

    You have not even scratched the surface. Keep north...so much amazing stuff north of you! You wont have enough time to see everything there is. Amazing things all the way to Oregon. Point Lobos, Carmel, 17 mile drive, lone cypress, Monterey, Pigeon Point Lighthouse and elephant seals at Ano Nuevo, Maveicks Beach (Huge surf waves), San Francisco Zoo and Golden Gate Area, Fishermans Wharf, Marin Headlands, Point Reyes, more than I can mention. Safe travels! You will not want to leave here lol

      Definitely avoid leaving your vehicle with out of state plates unattended on the streets of San Francisco. Tourist vehicles are prime targets for the rampant auto burglary in S.F.

    That's where Im from and sure miss it. Check out Ventura harbor if you haven't passed that by. The harbor is beautiful and the shops are open. Good food!!! Coastal cone for ice cream too!! Channel islands can be seen or take an island hop. Off Pierpont at the end there's a day park you can walk the beach path to the mermaid statue overlooking the jetty. Given to Ventura from Russia. Its beautiful. And yes definitely do Carmel 17 mile drive. Monterey aquarium if you can if not the sea otters are always out there. Santa Barb is beautiful, glad you got to the warf. The SB zoo is nice to. Enjoy the journey!! 🌊🌊🐬🐚🏄‍♀️⛵
