California is a state quite unlike the rest of the United States. Hugging the west coast, there are plenty of beautiful views along the Pacific Coast Highway (or PCH for short) making Cali the perfect road trip destination. Starting in San Francisco and driving south on Rt. 1 (the PCH) or starting in San Diego and driving north, you’ll find a ton of great photo ops, restaurants, and beautiful beaches along the entire coast.
