SF to LA: The Slow Coast Drift
Hey! Driving the PCH (Pacific Coast Highway) is the ultimate California dream. Since we’ve got 5 days, we don't have to rush past the best views. We’re going to take it slow, hit the hidden beaches, and keep the ocean on our right the whole way down.

Heads Up
- 1. Fill up your gas tank in Carmel. Gas prices in the middle of Big Sur are eye-watering, and cell service is non-existent for about 80km.
