DRIVE THE PACIFIC COAST HIGHWAY

To properly do this historic drive, you’ll need three things: a convertible, a good playlist, and a sense of adventure. Known locally as California 1, this 656-mile road will take you from just south of Los Angeles all the way north to the state’s redwood and sequoia forests. You’ll ride parallel to the Pacific Ocean (talk about those views!) and pass through iconic destinations like BigSur, Pebble Beach, Monterey, San Francisco, and Muir Woods National Monument along the way.
