| The Pacific Coast Highway is the name commonly | | | | you get the best view of the Pacific Ocean. Another |
| given to a series of roads that run all the way down | | | | reason is that most of the places to stop at (where |
| the West coast of America (including Highway 1). | | | | you can admire the scenery) are on that same side, |
| Starting some way above San Francisco, it runs all | | | | so it's a lot easier to get to them when you do not |
| the way down past Los Angeles and onto San Diego | | | | have to cut across a lane of traffic. |
| and is said by many to be the most beautiful drive in | | | | If you are planning a trip along the Pacific Coast |
| America. For anyone that enjoys going on a road trip, | | | | Highway it is recommended that you spend at least |
| there are few better experiences than driving down | | | | three days doing so. This should give you enough |
| the Pacific Coast Highway from top to bottom. | | | | time to stop and relax at any nice looking beaches |
| I say 'driving from top to bottom' because that's the | | | | that you find, and means you won't be constantly |
| best way to do it. The reason for this is that if | | | | driving all of the time. There are hundreds of hotels |
| you're driving from North to South (and because | | | | motels along the way, so you'll never have to worry |
| people drive on the right side of the road in America) | | | | about accommodation (although it's still best to book |
| you're driving on the outside of the road - meaning | | | | in advance). |
