The classic 380-mile Pacific Ocean coastal drive, along scenic
Highway 101, between Los Angeles and San Francisco, takes you
Through Carmel and Santa Barbara, and along a dramatic Big Sur
Coastline. You can stop along the way to see many attractions =96
Highlights include the Monterey Bay Aquarium and William
Randolph Hearst’s hilltop castle.
Begin your journey with a tour around Los Angeles‘ affluent
Rodeo Drive to see how the movie stars live, then after a dose
Of glamour and glitz head for hip Venice Beach for a spot of
People watching. Continue on to Santa Barbara, where you can
Tour the city’s spectacularly beautiful Wine Country, go for a
Hiking or biking tour, visit the many beautiful gardens or relax
On the beach. Moving north you pass through the predominantly
Danish town of Solvang, where draft horses pull an authentic
Danish streetcar through the town.
You may be ready for a stopover by the time you reach St Luis
Obispo, which has a delightful downtown area known as Mission
Plaza, set alongside a creek, with the beautifully restored
Mission nearby. If you’d like to experience over-the-top kitsch,
Stay at the 109-room Madonna Inn at with it’s thematically
Decorated rooms. Next day you could drive to Prismo Beach,
Bordered by the Oceano Sand Dunes, where you can actually drive
Your vehicle onto the beach. Just up the road at Simeon you’ll
Find the Hearst Castle with its 165 rooms. Don’t miss the
Billiard Room or the Celestial Suite indoors, or the magnificent
Surrounding formal gardens, modeled after gardens in Spain and
Italy.
The Big Sur Road and Monterey
From here, the road winds along the coastline, with
Breathtaking views of the surf below on the left, and the Big
Sur Mountains rising to 5,000 feet on the right. Take your time,
As the road has many blind corners. Around Carmel, you can visit
Some of California’s old Spanish missions. At Monterey, spend
Some time at the Monterey Bay Aquarium, the largest aquarium in
The United States and one of the best in the world. It’s packed
With marine exhibits, displaying more than 550 different
Species. The Outer Bay exhibit features the marine species found
In the waters of the eastern Pacific.
The final leg of your classic drive takes you through Santa
Cruz, where a long-established surfing culture inspired movies
(Such as Gidget) and the music of artists like The Beach Boys.
Surfing fans might like to stop at the Surfing Museum and visit
The beach to see if the surf’s up.

For scenic beauty , the best north south route through Northern California is State Highway # 1. It is a winding coastal route, overlooking the ocean most of the way. Plan to drive California highway number 1
If you are in a hurry take the inland routes , U.S. Highway 101, Interstate Highway 5, and State Highway 99 are the faster routes. The most heavily travelled east-west route are interstate highways 580 (U.S. 50) and 80: which connect San Fransisco and Tahoe.
