The Pacific Coast Highway is an unforgettable journey, especially thanks to this 56-mile section. Leave the city of San Luis Obispo and head right for the coast, traveling along the rocky cliffs and shorelines as you head north. Views of Morro Bay and Piedras Blancas Point are right outside your window, as well as the lush valleys and rolling farmlands more inland. Do not forget to make a pit stop at Hearst Castle, a 42-room mansion and one of the most architecturally significant landmarks from the early 20th-century.
