014: Pacific Coast Highway

Soak up classic ocean views while you cruise along California's Pacific Coast Highway. Stop for a seaside bowl of clam chowder in Morro Bay, rest your weary head in Big Sur's magnificent Redwood Forests and taste award winning stinky cheeses in Point Reyes. Heading north from SoCal we took two weeks to hit 20 unique spots around the coast including a daylong side trip through Paso Robles wine country to grab a case of Justin and a photo with the San Andreas Fault Line. Figure in a couple extra hours of drive time especially since this demanding road comes with a twisting shoulder workout that begs for a leisurely pace and countless stops for Instagram opportunities at each incredible view point along the way. This is one spectacular road trip that you can definitely take over and over again without ever feeling repetitive. Just change up your lodging, dining and seasonal looky-loo stops for a whole new enchilada each time. So keep this bucket list drive in your back pocket, a prescription for relaxation when you need to slow down and getaway from the hoopla that is Southern California. #WestCoastistheBestCoast
