California Beach - NICE!!

Between LA and San  Francisco the road meanders along the coast with small towns and many beaches to explore.  There are no crowds here, and it seems like a very laid back place.  It's a California that many people are looking for and finding it is as easy as leaving the bigger centers behind.

California - driving along the coast

The scenery is spectacular, lots of beaches, hills, wildflowers but there is also agriculture, farms and the smell of the strawberry fields is intoxicating.  Driving along on a hot summer day at 60 - 70mph, windows down, the smell of the strawberries just fills the air. And luckily there are fruit stands to be found.

California is the BEST. I think most people think of California as being defined by LA, Hollywood, San Francisco etc. the big cities that have made a name for themselves on the world stage. But there is so much more to California and one of the best ways to see this is with a drive along Interstate 1 from LA to San Francisco.

The scenery is spectacular and can change often as can the weather. Small towns have hotels/motels and B&B for accommodations but an interesting option for this drive could be renting an RV.

No matter how you do it, this drive is worth doing and should be on your bucket list. Hint..allow lot's of time to stop and take in all the beauty...
