This is an incredibly popular drive, and it’s not hard to see why. The Pacific Coast Highway has stunning ocean views on one side and mountain views on the other, plus a mix of charming small towns, wineries, campgrounds, forests, major Californian cities, and much more to explore along the way. Choose a specific portion of the trip or go the whole distance, depending on the time you have or the points you want to see!
