Carmel-by-the-Sea, often just referred to as Carmel, is one of the prettiest small towns on the California coast.

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. We mean no disrespect to the Inland Empire, but it’s not exactly the most interesting part of the state. If you’re taking the Pacific Coast Highway, on the other hand, there are plenty […]

The toll to get into Pebble Beach and take 17-Mile Drive is $11.25 per vehicle. The community itself is privately owned, as is the drive, so they use the toll fees to support the community itself and maintain infrastructure. If you’re thinking about getting lunch around the same time, you may as well do it […]

The fastest way to drive from Los Angeles to San Francisco, or vice versa, is by taking I-5 through the center of the state. 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 […]
