Highway 1 Attractions (You CANNOT Skip These!)
Highway 1 Attractions (You CANNOT Skip These!) || Doing the Pacific Highway road trip along the California coast is one of the mandatory vacations that take you through America's most breathtaking places. In this video, I am going to take you on a Pacific Coast Highway tour and show you the places you CANNOT skip! This includes Highway 1 beaches and other things to do on Highway 1.
Along the first stretch of California coast Highway 1, two of the best stops are Montara State Beach and Pomponio State Beach. At Montara State Beach, you get a beautiful backdrop of blue ocean waters blending into tall mountainous terrain. Pomponio State Beach allows you to walk right onto the beach.
The second place to stop on your PCH trip is Carmel-By-The-Sea. Also known as the land of fairytale cottages, this fantasy town has great upscale restaurants, shops with homemade crafts and goods, and also features the 17-mile drive, where you can see beautiful natural phenomena like Lone Cyprus.
The third item that should be on your California coast road trip itinerary is Big Sur, and more specifically, the Bixby Creek Bridge. This bridge is one of the best stops on Highway 1 and is among the tallest bridges of its kind in the world! You will also see more exaggerated tall winding roads that overlook scenic turquoise waters.
During your drive on US 1 California, the fourth item is Santa Barbara. Here you will find the historic Old Mission Santa Barbara, State Street which has great shopping and restaurants, and the Santa Barbara County Courthouse, where you can get a great view of the city from up top!
The last of this list of Highway 1 stops is Malibu. I went to Zuma Beach, which is gorgeous and you will definitely notice a difference between Malibu beaches and the more tourist-friendly ones like Venice Beach. Before you finish your California Route 1 road trip, check out the Getty Villa, a huge mansion with expensive and prominent art pieces collected over the years.
Overall, if you want to visit the big cities, it is definitely worth going from San Francisco to Los Angeles via Highway 1. The natural beauty and fun towns you will encounter along this stretch make the trip absolutely worth it!

Overview Edit
The City of Pacifica is spread along a six-mile (9.7-kilometre) stretch of coastal beaches and hills in north central California. The city comprises several small valleys spread between Sweeney Ridge in the east, Montara Mountain to the south, and the Pacific Ocean's rocky bluffs to the west.
Surfing at Rockaway Beach, Pacifica
Pacifica is well known regionally as a popular surfing destination. Surfers and families often visit Linda Mar Beach. Rockaway Beach is a scenic location and offers recreation, shopping and dining. 2005 marked the opening of the top ranked Pacifica Skateboard Park. Pacifica is also a popular mountain biking destination, with many trails crossing the hillsides that surround the city, including Pedro Mountain Road, Sweeney Ridge, and areas of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area. Fishermen frequent the local beaches and the Pacifica Pier, often catching Striped Bass and Salmon. Pacifica is also a popular place to hike, with many trails that wind along the beaches and bluffs, including Mori Point, San Pedro Valley County Park,[5] the Sanchez Adobe, Milagra Ridge, and the privately owned Pacifica quarry. For live local theater and performing arts, Pacifica Spindrift Players is a local and popular favorite, in addition to Pacifica Performances which regularly provides both musical presentations and performing arts as well. Pacifica is also home to the Sharp Park Golf Course,[6] which was designed in 1931 by architect Alister MacKenzie. The world class bromeliad nursery, Shelldance Orchid Gardens is located just off Highway 1 in Pacifica, adjacent to the Sweeney Ridge hiking trailhead.
