Planning a California Pacific Coast Highway road trip? Driving along the California Pacific Coast Highway is perhaps one of the greatest road trips in the world. Over the past five years, I was very lucky to have the opportunity to visit many of the towns and city's along the Golden Coast. But it was not until this past summer that we did a full road trip from San Francisco to Los Angeles following Highway 1 in a bright green-and-purple JUCY campervan! Along this famous route, you'll drive through big metropolitan cities and tiny coastal towns, gliding by redwood forests, classic California beach towns, lighthouses, major wine regions, marine wildlife, Spanish colonial sights, outdoor adventure opportunities, state parks, and even Hearst Castle. Not to mention the wonderful scenic views that will have you pulling off for impromptu ogling and photo ops along the Pacific Coast Highway! We'll share some information to get you started in planning your own California Highway 1 road trip and share our favorite 15 places to stop along the way and tips for what to do and see in each place.
