Places to see/Things to do along California HWY 1

Most guides cover the areas further north, but you might want to take a look at this page, which begins at the south end. Have a great trip!

Go a bit further north. Hearst Castle, Paso Robles wine country, Carmel, Monterey Aquarium.

Neptune's Net restaurant, north of Malibu.
great place to eat and watch the surfers.

Santa Barbara and Stearn's Wharf and the SB Zoo

Solvang and wine tasting in the Santa Ynez Valley

Downtown SLO

I just did a Google search for `California highway 1 sights' and got a ton of websites to peruse.

Ditto on the Solvang area. DW and I run up there on a wine buying trip once every year. We like to stay at Flying Flags in Buellton, and run around with the toad.

Don't forget the Ronald Reagan Museum in Simi Valley. Special exhibit the Titanic is great

Perhaps someone with updated information can correct me if I'm wrong, but Hwy. #1 was closed up around Big Sur due to a massive slide. Be sure and find out before you drive that far and have to turn around.

The OP is only going from LA to Morro Bay, way south of the slide closure.

Yeah, that should keep the southern great unwashed from soiling the elite's domiciles around Carmel.

No, it's quicker for them to drive up 101 anyway.
