Pacific Coast Highway Road Trip: 7 Days Driving Along the California Coast

I made an ebook with a lot of information about the road trip and some of my favorite spots + a link to the map which has all of my stops on it. You can purchase it here if you are interested - payhip.com/b/PUkme

I'm 76 and retired. I thoroughly enjoyed you taking me along on this amazing road trip. I'm an invalid and cannot get out anymore to see the wonderful places there are in this country. I had always heard of the PCH but never had the chance to drive it. You made that possible, and I didn't have to stop at a single red light or pull over to fill the gas tank. I subscribed and plan on watching all of your travel videos. Thanks for giving me 2 enjoyable hours today.

I'm a lifelong California resident and you do such an excellent job of showcasing well known spots as well as great hidden gems. The fact you are so informative about navigating certain areas, traffic conditions, costs/fees, family friendly spots and good eats is truly appreciated!! Love when you dad, wife and children join in the fun too. Great work , thank you.

You and your Dad are such a treat. The camaraderie between you two is heart warming. My Father and I were never close, and he mostly was a bully so seeing you and your Pops together as you journey, along with your excellent narration , give us quite an experience.

I am 72 and can no longer afford to travel anymore nor am I able to do that much walking. I really enjoyed you and your dad’s 7-day road trip along the Pacific Coast Highway. You and your dad made the trip possible and informative so I just wanted to say thank you for the enjoyable and unexpected opportunity.

As a born and raised Californian, I always tell friends in other States about how diverse and beautiful this State is. Your videos do a great job showing off our State, and I always learn something from your personable commentary. This episode was definitely epic and one of your best. Keep up the good work, and thanks for all you do!

One of my most favorite things about your videos is that you spend time with your dad! I’ve done a lot of California road trips with my sister and she has cancer. We committed to seeing as much of California as possible. Her health has recently had some setbacks and seeing your videos always remind me of our trips. Speaking of, she got goosebumps at La Purisima! I spoke to some of the docents and one told us about Padre Junipero’s room. They always tidy it up every night before closing and In the morning, the bed always looks like someone had slept in it!

Thank you for doing this. Older, retired. Born and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area. I always thought I lived in the coolest place on the planet. There are some disturbing changes going on. You unfortunately got to witness some of the crime with the break in. Things like that break my heart. California is stunning beautiful. I used to travel in my work. I have been to some cities in your videos. Since I was working I had very little time for exploration. My dream now is to take a similar to road trip. I currently have health challenges. This video has given me inspiration to try to get better. In the words of Willie Nelson "Can't wait to get on the road again."

This was very well done. I grew up in San Clemente, lived in Laguna Beach for a bit, and now live in San Luis Obispo. I have been to just about each of the spots you showed in this video. I love my California!

Thank you for bringing this experience to everyone. I'm from Santa Monica and i graduated from Pepperdine University in Malibu..but i just wanted to tell you that your relationship with your dad is wonderful. I just love you for that...You are making great memories with him..I lost my dad in 2019 and wish i could have done this with him...thanks for sharing your relationship with the world!!!

When you were in Fort Brag in Northern CA, if you walk along the fence at the top to the left and hike down to the other side of the beach, you would have seen a gold mine of pottery, and glass. Everyone walks down where you went and it's uneventful, the other side is far more impressive.

Seriously, you’re the Rick Steves Cali tourism needs to retain perpetually! I’ve been but never saw or enjoyed California like this. What’s more, your love for your Pops was so heartwarming! I could imagine the fun times your family had in educational journeys growing up!

I stayed at Pigeon Point once as a kid for a school trip. The first night we were there, the wind was really bad and broke the window out. I'll never forget that trip, not only because of the window thing, but it was so beautiful.

I've been in California since I was 7 years old. I'm still here at age 70. I love the Pacific Coast Hwy and I've been to all of these coastal beaches. CALIFORNIA ROCKS! Great surfing beaches! Plenty of restaurants! Piers to walk!

I'm from Brazil and I don't know California. I fell in love with your video, beautiful work. Your father is also very nice! Who knows, maybe one day I'll meet these beautiful places you show. Big hugs to you both.

Thank you so much. This was so nostalgic. I currently live in Japan, but grew up in Los Angeles and live in SF for over ten years. I have driven every bit of PCH from San Ysidro to Crescent City. You hit so many places I have visited, plus so many more that I missed. Honestly, you are a far better researcher/planner than I am. I missed so much great stuff. Thank you! I love the video.

I bicycled all of Highway 1 in 1994. Great trip. Proud I was able to accomplish the feat!

This is absolutely mesmerizing! You are a phenomenal photographer and this is narrated so well. You have captured my favorite places on earth in this FABULOUS video. I love that you travel with your dad, too! 😊

Born and raised in California but left at 18 for the Army. Needless to say, things are not the same as it used to be out there (32 yo now) . Politics ruined it for me . But no matter where I go, California still is the most beautiful state in the US! ❤ I will have to one day visit the coast ❤❤ 🌊

I Love this channel! very nicely done guys. Taking this trip is both myself and my wife’s dream! I live in Canada and it’s gotten so dam crazy expensive here I don’t know if we will ever have money for this trip. Really appreciate you sharing this video BTW the relationship you and your father have is priceless!
