For the perfect “sampler platter” of sights and activities on a California coast road trip, I recommend planning 3 days from Los Angeles to San Francisco. A stay in California wouldn’t be complete without a road trip on the Pacific Coast Highway. The iconic Hwy 1 continues along most of the California coast through to Oregon and Washington and can be enjoyed at any pace whether it’s over the course of a 1-day road trip or 2 weeks in California. There are six onsite restaurants & bars and a Forbes Five-Star Sense Spa all at an unparalleled beachfront location!
