Pacific Coast Highway

Santa Barbara was a highlight on the globetrottergirls road trip through California.

Cruising down the PCH from L.A. to Laguna Beach is just like out of a movie. Read on for the Globetrottergirls top 5 stops along this stretch of the PCH.

With over a month to spend in California and plans to travel between Los Angeles and San Francisco, there was no question that we would take the Pacific Coast Highway for a true California Dreamin’ road trip.

Seeing Elephant Seals on Highway 1 was a highlight of the PCH road-trip.

Driving along the Pacific Coast Highway from Los Angeles to San Francisco is filled with wildlife watching experiences, so it seemed natural to sign up for a whale-watching tour to see some of nature’s largest mammals further off the coast of California. Little did we expect to have to hold on for dear life out on the open sea, and one of us spending more time clenching on at the back of the boat feeding her breakfast to the birds.
