Explore The California Coast From Los Angeles to San Luis Obispo, California
Start off your romantic road trip in dazzling Los Angeles and spend a day exploring iconic landmarks like TCL Chinese Theatre and the Hollywood Sign before hopping on Highway 101 up to Ventura.
Here, you can try your hand at surfing or unwind by riding the ferry to Santa Cruz Island, one of California’s Channel Islands, to take a leisurely hike and explore the area.
From there, continue up the coastline up to Santa Barbara, where you can check out the urban wine trail. Spend the night at the historic Hotel Californian, and the following day take Route 154 through the winding vineyards and mountains of the Santa Ynez Valley.
We highly recommend taking a detour to the charming Danish town of Solvang to enjoy authentic European pastries like homemade ebelskivers.
On your way back to Highway 101, make a pit stop at OstrichLand to buy the most massive eggs you’ve ever seen in your life!
And from here, you’ll travel up through Los Alamos and the Santa Maria Valley vineyards, which passes through the beautiful shoreside city of Pismo Beach, and finally concluding your trip in San Luis Obispo for an assortment of outdoor experiences and an incredible array of culinary experiences.
