We just got back from an amazing, trip taking the coastal route from San Diego to the Oregon border. Since we have both grown up in Southern California, we didn't really need to explore much in this region so our exploring part of the trip really began in Central California.
The coastal towns are so small and mellow once you leave Southern California. We brought a book full of surf breaks with us and stopped at some of the better waves. It was a great experience to explore the Central and Northern California culture. We talked to local surfers and hung out in hippy towns. We hiked in forests, along deserted coasts and along coastal bluffs. It was a phenomenal trip and we recommend it to everyone! Our favorite stretch of coastline in the state would probably have to be the Sonoma County Coast, just north of Bodega Bay. It is isolated, scenic and absolutely beautiful. Once you leave Southern California, the hotels are very affordable too. We did the trip in 5 days up and 2 days down. Here are some of the main highlights from the road trip:
