About Carmel-by-the-Sea Carmel-by-the-Sea might be a small town – only about 3,000 residents! – but that doesn’t mean there’s nothing to do there. Carmel is one of the Monterey area’s hidden gems, and it’s the perfect place to end your 17-Mile Drive tour. If you’re looking for some small-town charm on your next trip to […]
Pet-Friendly Stops on Pacific Coast Highway Since most of the PCH is out in the middle of nowhere, there are plenty of opportunities to have fun with your four-legged passengers. Most Pacific Coast Highway road trips start in San Francisco, which is a relatively pet-friendly city. The famous Golden Gate Bridge allows dogs every day […]
Carmel-by-the-Sea, often just referred to as Carmel, is one of the prettiest small towns on the California coast. Though it lacks the amenities and attractions of Monterey, its larger neighbor to the north, Carmel is still a popular and worthwhile destination spot in its own right, especially for visitors coming straight from a 17-Mile Drive […]
If you’re taking the I-5 from San Francisco to Los Angeles, then you shouldn’t stop anywhere except to get gas and food.

However, since the Inland Empire doesn’t exactly make for the most interesting travel setting, taking the Pacific Coast Highway provides a much more scenic alternative that runs through some of the […]
The PCH is about 655 miles long, covering close to three-quarters of California’s coastline. Driving the Pacific Coast Highway takes about 12 hours if you go straight through, but we definitely wouldn’t recommend experiencing the drive that way. To get the most out of your drive up or down the PCH, we’d recommend taking three […]
Southern Utah is known for its scorching hot and extended summer seasons. Here, temperatures frequently reach over one hundred degrees fahrenheit! While the Grand Staircase National Monument and nearby town of Escalante have the benefit of a slightly higher altitude which serves to moderate the temperature a little, summertime can still be extremely hot and […]
You can absolutely stop along 17-Mile Drive! In fact, we encourage you to. As the name implies, the drive itself is actually fairly short, although very beautiful. The way to truly enjoy your time on the drive is to stop anywhere that strikes your fancy, whether it’s a beach, a rocky cliff, or even one […]
The Pacific Coast Highway runs right through Malibu, CA, just before it reaches Los Angeles. Malibu is home to some of the prettiest beaches in southern California and the PCH will take you right by them, so it’s a great place to stop and stretch your legs in the sand.
