The Pacific Coast Highway is a stunning and iconic route that stretches from the US to Mexico, offering breathtaking views of coastlines and rugged terrain. Taking a self-guided tour along this majestic highway allows you to explore its beauty at your own pace. Whether you are looking for tips on planning or safety advice while […]
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 […]
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 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 […]
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. Though the beaches are really […]
We’d recommend planning your Pacific Coast Highway road trip for the early spring if you can. That way, you’ll beat the summer crowds but you still get to enjoy the warm weather up and down the coast. If you travel in April or May, you can also see all the fields bursting with color as […]
Driving Through Pacific Coast Highway As a general rule, it’s better to start your Pacific Coast Highway road trip in the north and head south so your car is always in the lane closest to the ocean. That way, there’s nothing blocking your view of the cliffs during your drive down and you can really […]
History of 17-Mile Just as the name suggests, 17-Mile Drive is a 17-mile scenic loop that runs all the way around the coast of Pebble Beach, just off the Pacific Coast Highway. A 17-Mile Drive tour will typically take you all the way around the peninsula and back to the PCH, although there are also […]
There’s really no wrong way to take a Pacific Coast Highway road trip, but we’d recommend starting in the north so there’s nothing between your car and an uninterrupted view of the ocean on your right. We’d also highly recommend taking three or four days instead of driving straight through. There’s so much to do […]
