This region of the Central California coastline is found midway between Los Angeles and San Francisco along the confluence of US-101 and SR-1 nestled amongst the foothills of the Santa Lucia Mountains.

Both highways offer a different but pleasant scenic drive. SR-1 is the famous Pacific Coast Highway running along the bluffs of the shoreline and overlooking the ocean US-101 runs more inland past miles of beautifully kept vineyards kept within quiet valleys and gentle rolling hills.

There are many adventure possibilities waiting if you are looking for an active family vacation, relaxing weekend getaway or shopping spree escape.
