Ocean Views from San Diego to the Olympic Peninsula · San Diego, CA → Port Angeles, WA
For the ultimate scenic stretch, detour from San Luis Obispo onto Highway 1 through Morro Bay, San Simeon (Hearst Castle), and into Big Sur — the most spectacular coastal driving in the US. Rejoin Hwy 101 at Monterey. This adds ~120 miles but is completely worth it.
