I've lived in California for 25 years and have visited most spots on this list on various trips, but just recently I accidentally stumbled across the Elephant Seal view point on the way to Hearst Castle and I loved it - one of my favorite little surprises along the highway.

Twenty just isn't enough. 🙂 But, your picks are great. Over the years, I have driven every mile of Hwy 1 at least three times and some segments dozens of times. I live in Fresno, so the central coast gets more of my attention than either north or south. Here are a few other suggestions: LOTS of state parks along the way, most of which (if not all) are worth at least a short stop. Some of our favorites are Limekiln SP, Montana de Oro SP, the Butterfly Grove at Pismo State Beach (seasonal), and Point Lobos State Reserve. Pepperdine University in the spring. Perhaps the prettiest site for a college campus in California. We saw some waterpolo matches there during the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics. We wanted gymnastics (like everyone else), but got waterpolo instead. Even so, we weren't disappointed. Many of the California missions are along or very near Hwy 1, including San Juan Capistrano, Ventura, Santa Barbara, La Purisima (Lompoc), San Luis Obispo, Carmel, Monterey, Santa Cruz, and San Francisco. For quirky: Gum Alley in San Luis Obispo. The very little town of Harmony. My wife like to stop to look at the arts and crafts. While see does that, I do close-up/macro photography in the gardens. More "urbany": Monterey Bay Aquarium, 17-mile Drive, Golden Gate Park, Glass Beach in Fort Bragg, the town of Medocino.

Always love your vlogs, but in my 55 years living in the East Bay/Stockton area, I've not heard one person up here call CA-1 the "Pacific Coast Highway/PCH" north of Los Angeles County. I've always heard CA-1 called "One, "Highway One," or, less frequently, the "Coast Road" Wikipedia seems to support this, FWIW. Must be a SoCal thing!
