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. 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 […]

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 […]
