We’re going to make a leisurely California trip in August. A few days in LA, wander up the coast, then a few days in SF.
Any recommendations regarding the middle bit? We’ll stop at Santa Barbara, Morro Bay, Big Sur for sure.
Any where else?
I did the drive just once, in 1993.

Jon - I used to live in Los Osos (right next door to Morro Bay) many moons ago. There is a pretty state park there, Montana de Oro. Also a little inland I hear there are some pretty nice wineries in the Paso Robles area. I love that drive between the Central Coast and Monterey. We visited Hahn Winery just outside Monterey last time we were out there.

Venice, Muscle Beach, the body builder with the yellow python and the guy that drinks lighter fluid then blows flame out of his mouth and usually a few more freaks.
Then the original Muscle Beach up near Santa Monica and the Pier.
What more could a tourist want?
Starting here will make the rest of it a little nicer.

Nepenthe is a good place to eat around Big Sur, right up on the cliffs. Get a reservation if you can.
South to north is the best way to go. Getting a convertible?

We’ll do all that. LA and SF I know pretty well. It’s the middle bits I’m less familiar with.

Cambria is a nice town. Stayed overnight there.
I’ve done that drive a number of years ago, before covid. Came across from Bakersfield (meth was meh) to cambria. Then north up route 1 in two days.
