The United States is full of opportunities for road trips that will take you through some of the most breathtaking
locations in the world
One of them the apps we have to do is the trip down Highway one along the California coast and in this video
I'm actually gonna be covering five places that you absolutely have to stop between San Francisco and Los Angeles
Along Highway one, so let's get into it

So stay tuned during the first stress during the first stretch between San Francisco down to the Monterey area
Where Carmel is?
You're gonna be very overwhelmed
Because this from the beginning you're driving your to see so many potentials areas to stop but I'm gonna cut this down for you
There's a couple places that I stop that are the highlights of this stretch
the first of which is around Montera Street Montera State Beach
And you're gonna kind of get the nice combination a nice contrast between the beautiful ocean
And the waves crashing down at the bottom where the beach area is and the tall rocks
Right beside it that kind of turned into this nice mountainous terrain
so
This makes for a beautiful photo opportunity to get that combination between Beach and mountainous and then if you continue your drive you're gonna find
Pomponio State Beach, um and here you can actually go right out onto the beach
Which is really nice and gets experienced the waves actually coming in for yourself and how beautiful it is
The second place you have to stop is Carmel by the sea and this is a in the Monterey area
There's other great things to see Monterey as well
But what I had a chance to experience was the beautiful little town of Carmel by the sea
Which is sometimes known as the land of fairytale cottages because everything looks like literally like you're in a fairy tale
so I actually
Recommend this place first and foremost for couples
It's a great romantic place to kind of walk around go to all the cool shops to have a bunch of homemade goods
lots of pieces of art that are handcrafted and it's just really really nice lots of kind of more high-end or
fancy
Upscale kind of restaurants where you can have wine sit outside
it's really really nice and
Make sure to hit up the talk box. If you want a good lunch and kind of like a cozy surroundings with gourmet food and
Another great thing to do is to do the 17 mile drive that I'll take you through some really cool natural phenomena
You'll get to see the what's called the lone cypress tree and a bunch of other cool natural phenomena and last thing fun fact
The mayor of this town was actually formerly Clint Eastwood
Believe it or not as you continue to drive south from Monterey
You're gonna hit probably the most beautiful stretch of this ride
And that is number three on this list Big Sur and more specifically the big speed Creek bridge
which is probably the most photographed area along this Highway one drive and it's it's such a
Tall bridge that it literally feels kind of scary that you're actually driving overtop of it
So as you can see this in this picture
It's literally super super high
One of the tallest bridges of this type in the world and Big Sur in itself is literally
Probably what you'd have in suggestion number one
Kind of on steroids because you get again these big
Beautiful waves kind of crashing into turquoise waters and the tall rocky area and it's a lot more mountainous
Mountainous along here as well. So a lot of your drive drives or when you're driving
It's gonna feel a little bit sketchy cuz it's gonna feel like you're driving about to drive off a cliff essentially. So
But this area is beautiful definitely get off here to take a photo with this bridge
Number four in this list is Santa Barbara and this is just such a beautiful little town very historic
You'll actually find here at the Old Mission Santa Barbara, which was founded in
1786 so a very old building by Spanish Franciscans and he gave you guys a background a mission is basically a place
there's a lot them all over California and Texas and other areas and
they were used to convert people to Christianity and
Inside this mission you're gonna find it's just really beautiful
you know the different gardens the different areas where you can walk around I
Believe there's catacombs as well. So a lot of cool things to see and
Onto State Street, you're gonna find a lot of great restaurants there and a lot of shopping potential as well
So a lot of year kind of mid to upper tier
stores and turn in terms of price point and
you can also go to the old Santa Barbara courthouse and which allows you to actually go up up to the top and you'll get
A great view of Santa Barbara itself. So I definitely recommend that and
And to round out this list pretty much when you're approaching though the Greater Los Angeles area
You're gonna hit Malibu and this is just such a great beach town
um
It's probably mandatory to stop here
And when I went I went to a beach called Zuma Beach
And you're just gonna notice such a large contrast between the couple of beaches you see in Malibu and the beaches you see
In like Santa Monica and Venice Beach. There's really no comparison. Those beaches are gonna be a lot more crowded
Just not as picturesque, but when you go to Malibu Zuma Beach great white sands
you actually saw I actually saw dolphins there actually saw a whale believe it or not, which is pretty crazy and
you can also hit up the Getty Villa as well, which is a
Businessman ssin that has a lot of very valuable artwork that's been kind of collected over the history in that mansion
So you are on an arc fanatic. That is a great place to check out
So that's gonna do it for this list
Please comment below and let me know if there's any sites that I missed and you know
if you are planning to visit multiple cities in
California like San Francisco and Los Angeles this road trip is the perfect way to get both cities in and see all the breathtaking
Spots along the way cuz you know along the Pacific coast
You're just gonna see so many beautiful things especially in California, which is my personal favorite state
