I have always wanted to drive up the California coast between LA and San Francisco. I finally did it!

We drove up the coast from LA to San Francisco and back again. We spent the night in Oxnard, Monterey, Half Moon Bay, Pismo Beach and Lancaster. We toured through Malibu, Santa Barbara, Morro Bay, Pismo Beach, San Louis Obispo, Carmel, Carmel-by-the-Sea, Monterey, Redwood City, San Francisco, Sonoma, Napa Valley, Half Moon Bay, Davenport, Lancaster, Palmdale, LA, Hollywood and Beverly Hills! My journey ended in the Palm Springs / Indio area.

I am on Carmel Beach. The green behind me on the cliff is Pebble Beach
and the Lodge at Pebble Beach and golf course.

Pebble Beach Golf Course

My girl Ang, outside The Lodge at Pebble Beach

Just south of Davenport, California. This is a secluded beach that requires you to hike down a cliff to get to. It has a beautiful carved arch and long beach. This beach used to be a whaling station. Driving down the 1, you'd never know this beach was here . . . from the road, it looks like any other turnout but once you get out of your car and start to approach the edge, you see that you can climb down to this heavenly beach. The turnout is just north of Laguna Road and just south of the Roadhouse restaurant in Davenport. Davenport is just north of Santa Cruz and just south of Half Moon Bay, both just south of San Fracisco, California. Beautiful coastline! Two great restaurants on this stretch of coastline is Cameron's Pub just south of Half Moon Bay on the 1 and The Roadhouse in Davenport, California on the 1.
